Education at the Intersection of Technology and Design, an Extended Conversation

The existing school model is anachronistic. Schools were designed for a time when students had to be at the same place, at the same time, to hear the same message. Today’s technologies have liberated us from that restriction. Some of the questions then become: what do schools look like? How do we create schools that maximize the opportunity for blending in-person learning and remote learning? How can technology and design work together more seamlessly to create outcomes that, working separately, they can’t achieve?

Following Reimagine America’s Schools’ successful forum about learning at the intersection of design and technology (link here), Ron Bogle moderated an informal conversation to drill down further on the provocative questions raised about school design, and the role that technology might play.
