21. What is the purpose of Using Edu-Tech?
ALTERNATIVELY:
• Deploying new media to
forge new entry points into
learning opportunity,
achievement, and civic
participation.
• Less about improving
individual competitiveness;
more focused on learning
writ large, centering on
values: equity, full
participation and collective
contribution.
DOMINANT FOCUS:
• Lowering the costs of
content delivery, improving
‘instruction’, and optimizing
assessment for existing
metrics, standards, and
accountabilities.

two
more….
• The

• The

32. “Beware.
Your
degree
is
not
a
proxy
for
your
ability
to
do
any
job.
The
world
only
cares
about
—
and
pays
off
on
—
what
you
can
do
with
what
you
know
(and
it
doesn’t
care
how
you
learned
it).
And
in
an
age
when
innova.on
is
increasingly
a
group
endeavor,
it
also
cares
about
a
lot
of
soc
skills
—
leadership,
humility,
collabora.on,
adaptability
and
loving
to
learn
and
re-‐learn.
This
will

33. Are schools immune from the
wave of ‘disintermediation’?
Can they remain relevant if their
roles and methods do not evolve
radically?
Do we all believe that schools
should survive because of wider
considerations?
