And you're gonna continue to run everything from the front of the room and say give a lecture that's not super engaging and expect the students to listen, but you've also handed them iPads.

Well, good luck, you know, because I don't think many students are gonna be listening and effectively learning from that.

And w and and there are bigger questions there, right?

Is lecturing an effective way of teaching, you know, twenty-first century kids?

Right.

All these questions are good and worth asking.

But the fact is what we're doing is just adding a new tool to a culture that is top-down learning, teaching from the front of the room, lecture, drill and kill.

isn't very effective.

Giving kids a math app that's a game and they're really excited about it is great.

But what about the kid who gets super revved and competitive by the math app and then can't focus on the next task or can't stop playing?

Be much more effective, take years to do really excellent professional development, give teachers a lot of power and autonomy about when they use tech and make sure that.

There's a culture of students knowing to put it away when it's not in use and then it's really put away on off, not just sitting on their desks being potentially distracting.

That's really ideal.

Where you know the tech is used to support a specific learning objective or a specific mode of collaboration or engagement.
