Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can't Transform Education
By Justin Reich, associate professor of comparative media studies
Harvard University Press · 2020
Reich describes how learning technologies - even those that are free to access - often provide the greatest benefit to affluent students and do little to combat growing inequality in education. We still need new teaching tools, and classroom experimentation should be encouraged, he asserts. But successful reform efforts will focus on incremental improvements, not the next killer app.
From Summer 2021 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
