I became interested in educational technologies because I believe that they have the potential to transform how we practice and think about education and learning.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can keep learning about all the different technologies. It's my most telling characteristic. I'm interested in trying anything new.
I'd always loved technology. It's something I always messed around with in computer labs at school. So I glommed onto it very early as way to differentiate myself in business.
I'm excited to see how current and future technologies revolutionize the way we learn.
I want students to understand specific technologies, but the real goal is that they should be able to reason about how systems work and be intelligently skeptical about technology so that, when they're running the world in a few years, they'll do a good job.
Let students use technologies in the classroom.
I feel there is so much more we can do in improving education, making it accessible and understanding how technology can be a part of the solution.
I started my career as a journalist, writing about science and technology for 'Business Week' magazine. Then I decided to make a career shift. I went to graduate school in computer science, and I began developing educational technologies - in particular, technologies to engage children in creative learning experiences.
I'm a school teacher, and later on, well past my formal education, I became very interested in science.
In education, technology can be a life-changer, a game changer, for kids who are both in school and out of school. Technology can bring textbooks to life. The Internet can connect students to their peers in other parts of the world. It can bridge the quality gaps.
I've always been interested in gadgets and technology and I've always been a reader.
