“Edtech, or education technology, is the practice of introducing information and communication technology tools into the classroom to create more engaging, inclusive and individualized learning experiences.”
Sam Daley, What Is Edtech? A Guide, builtin.com
Formal education should not shut people down, it should open them up. Education systems should be inspiring young people to dream big and then empowering those dreamers with the skills to make the world a better place.
I never wanted to be a teacher. Seeing how downtrodden most of my schoolteachers were always made me think a person must be crazy to want to be a teacher! I can also remember a school assembly when the most miserable of the deputy heads told us to stop dreaming, get real and accept the fact that we wouldn’t ever amount to much in life.
An unintelligent and uninspired education system has a knock-on effect… it feeds into the status quo and you end up having an unintelligent and uninspired society, and we all end up suffering as a result.
This is the module where I started to explore all the wide and varied ways in which the schooling system can transform students into innovative learners with brave voices, bold ideas and imaginations that will not stop.
