Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is Episode 214 called Ditch that Chromebook.   In this episode we’ll talk about several current issues in the edtech world all centered around technology, the role it serves, and to what extent it belongs in schools.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss.  Check it out.

Apology to Matt Miller

3 Current Arguments in the edtech world:

1. To block or not to block: AI in schools
2. Let fail? 
3. Agree about alway cheating   
4. The pendulum swings back on 1:1 devices.  What is the right way forward?  
5. Banning cell phones in schools.  Yay or nay?
