Podcast #61: The Future of Educational Technology




The Teach Better Podcast show

Summary: In this blockbuster finale of #edtechsummer, Edward and Doug invite three experts to share their thoughts on the future of educational technology. Michael Feldstein (e-Literate and Mindwires Consulting) reminds us that technology should serve pedagogy and suggests some sensible criteria we can use to evaluate new products. Matthew Rascoff (Duke Center for Instructional Technology) talks specifically about the future of the Learning Management System (LMS) and the potential for edtech to help students connect with each other. Brian Alexander (independent futurist) steps back to ponder the broader impact of technology on higher education. All in all, this is one of our most thought-provoking episodes.
