Eric shares how a student calling school "a jail" flipped him from tech skeptic to digital leadership advocate, and shaped a philosophy built on small shifts, evidence over hype, and chasing growth, not perfection.Dr. Joe Sebestyen and Eric Sheninger discuss the shifts schools need to make, including the Seven Pillars of Digital Leadership, the Voice, Choice, Path, Pace, and Place framework for personalized learning, and the two questions every educator should ask before using any technology. Eric also explains why AI is the most overrated trend in EdTech, why handing students devices won't fix learning, and why pedagogy has to come before tools.This episode is especially useful for school administrators leading change, teachers rethinking tech integration, and district leaders preparing students for a future that keeps shifting. Eric gives a clear, practical framework for leading change with evidence and helping students build the skills they actually need.🔔 Subscribe for weekly conversations on academic strategy, college prep, and the future of student success.📲 Connect with them Website: ericsheninger.com/aspire-change-eduericsheninger.comInstagram: @esheningerGet your own book now: amazon/Eric-C.-Sheninger📲 Learn more about us: supportedtutoring.com, @dr_joe_ap_exams Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.
