Greetings from Edutech2020 online via Zoom from Australia. Pasi Sahlberg, Deputy Director of Research at the Gonski Institute For Education University of New South Wales is presenting evidence that Australian school teachers (and students) spend too much time in formal classes. He argues that there is no correlation between time in class and results and Australian teachers don't have time in their long days for innovation. His institute is investigating how digital media distracts students. The solution I suggest is in the hands of those who train teachers: show them how to teach differently, and make use of educational technology, so it helps rather hinder learning. https://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/2020/11/edutech-2020-on-now.html
