  • or just to profit from it
  • potential customers
  • Plenty of research does indeed show that an individual student will learn more if you can tailor the curriculum to match her learning style, pace and interests; the tablet, he said, will help teachers do that
  • commercial opportunities
  • looking for higher test scores
  • exploit
  • It provides immediate feedback
  • “Now your job is not to dispense knowledge,” Britt told the trainees. “It’s to facilitate learning. No longer is the teacher the bottleneck between students and knowledge. Rather, the teacher architects the environment — in the classroom, on the tablet, online, everywhere.”
  • The Amplify tablet helps make personalization possible.
  • “If it’s not transformative,” Klein told me, “it’s not worth it.”
  • The teacher’s tablet also has an app blocker and monitoring functions that can see and control what’s happening on student tablets
  • Companies with vested interests are pitching themselves as the solution to the country’s educational problems, he says, “but we don’t have research proving it’s true.”
  • magic bullets. “There are a lot of hucksters out there,” he said.

  • “You learn how to broadcast, which is not the same thing as what you and I are doing now. Posting strong opinions isn’t a conversation.”
  • wouldn’t it make more sense to devote our resources to strengthening the teaching profession with better recruitment, training, support and pay? It seems misguided to try to improve the process of learning by putting an expensive tool in the hands of teachers we otherwise treat like the poor relations of the high-tech whiz kids who design the tool.
