Podcasts about hack education

Until recently, Audrey Watters was one of the most prominent and prolific critics of digital technology and education – dubbed  ‘ed-tech's Cassandra'.Then in 2021, she published a book, quit Twitter, and wound up her highly influential ‘Hack Education' blog.In this episode, we catch up with Audrey about her new ‘Second Breakfast' project, and her pivot to writing about fitness technologies, food and exercise.Audrey talks about the parallels between fitness tech and digital education, the enduring legacy of BF Skinner in current Silicon Valley thinking, as well as her reflections on the relentless grind of critiquing EdTech.**Link to Audrey's ‘Second Breakfast' Sub stack

The two major narratives around education. Plato, the Allegory of the Cave, and how it relates to education and the levels of awareness surrounding education. The processes needed for individuals to become agents of their own learning. Is education reform possible or do we need a different approach? The kids who do well in school and what they say led to their success. The role libraries can play in creating ideal conditions for learning.

This week on the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/02/technology/silicon-valley-teachers-tech.html) article that focused on the topic of Teacher Ambassador Programs. For many teachers, a strong relationship with educational technology companies provides a support community for which they share ideas and interact with teachers across the country. In this episode, we take a look at the ethical and often unspoken rules of interacting with 3rd party companies and how to successfully find needed support without creating educational waves in your current place of employment.

In this follow-up to our episode on trolls, Ryan and Chuck talk research on internet trolling, interview Audrey Watters (http://hackeducation.com/) of Hack Education, provide tips on dealing with trolls, and talk about what's making us angry this week.

Today a future without schools. Instead of gathering students into a room and teaching them, everybody learns on their own time, on tablets and guided by artificial intelligence.    First, I talk to a Ashok Goel, a computer scientist who developed an artificially intelligent TA named Jill Watson and didn’t tell any of his students she wasn’t a human.     Then I talk to two people building future, app based educational systems. Jessie Woolley-Wilson from DreamBox explains what adaptive learning is, and how it can help create a better learning experience for kids. She also talks about all the data they collect on kids to better serve them (data we’ll come back to later in the episode.) Along with Jessie, Julia Stiglitz from Coursera explains how this kind of self-directed learning can extend into the college and post-college world.     Jessie and Julia see a future with these kinds of learning apps that could be more democratic, more creative, more fun and more effective. But there are some downsides too. Neither of them see apps or algorithms replacing teachers, but there are other organizations and projects that do.     In 2013, a guy named Sugata Mitra won the TED Prize which comes with a pretty healthy million dollar check. He won this prize for his work on what he calls “A school in the cloud.” Mitra founded this organization named Hole in the Wall, where he went around the slums of India and installed these kiosks that children could use and play with. His whole thesis is that students can be taught by computers, on their own time. Without teachers. Here’s his TED talk.    And this Hole in the Wall thing is one of the classic examples that a lot of people working on education apps point to to show that kids don’t need teachers to learn. Kids are naturally curious, they’re going to want to seek out information, you don’t have to force them into a tiny room to listen to a boring teacher.    But we talk to some people who question that narrative. Audrey Watters, who runs the site Hack Education, says that projects like Hole in the Wall often don’t last. Nearly all the kiosks that Mitra set up are abandoned and vandalized, she says, and when you look at footage and images of the kiosks you can see that older, bigger boys dominate and push the smaller boys and girls out.     And get this to a question that came up with literally every person I talked to for this episode. What is the purpose of school? Is it to teach content? Or is it to teach students how to relate to one another, how to empathize, how to think, how to be good citizens? Nobody really knows. But we talk about it on the episode!    We also talk about some of the other downsides of these systems. Jade Davis,  the associate director of digital learning projects at LaGuardia Community College in Queens New York, tells us about her concerns that algorithms might pigeonhole Kids who might not take to the system immediately. Kids like her own.     In the end, we talk about whether or not these kinds of solutions are really for everyone. Or if they’re just going to be used on poor, disadvantaged kids. Because, are Harvard students really going to be taught by robots? Probably not.     Bonus: Listen to the very end for a fun surprise.   Learn more about your ad choices.
