Couch (vice president of education, Apple), with Towne (research fellow, Harvard Univ.), demonstrates how technology can facilitate education methods that empower teachers to deliver better learning. Advocating for a true integration of technology along with changes to spaces, curriculum, and teachers' roles, the authors reveal the power of learning by doing. By understanding each child's rich potential, the authors see technology as a great equalizer that can motivate and engage all learners. Couch's passion for both education and technology shines through the book's charming conversational style filled with personal and professional anecdotes. The authors outline the Apple's Challenge-Based Learning pedagogy, which has been able to provide access to technology that has helped build schools where learning is made relevant. Considering how Maker spaces, 3-D printing, coding, augmented reality, and interactive books can fundamentally transform education, they offer provocative ideas for other visionaries to apply.
VERDICT For those who want to embrace a call to action to use technology and active pedagogy to change the way we approach teaching and learning.
