Weaponizing Screen Time: The EdTech Debate with Short Answer Founder Adam Sparks

What happens when the research driving school technology bans doesn't actually apply to classroom technology? Adam Sparks, founder of Short Answer and former classroom teacher, joins Leah Cleary for a conversation about the edtech debate, the anti-technology movement in schools, and what's actually happening on the ground -- grants declined, district renewals paused, teachers whose plans for next year just hit a wall. They get into the books fueling the backlash, why weaponizing screen time is misleading, what Short Answer does that paper can't, and how Adam keeps building intentional educational technology when the political winds are working against him. The season finale of the If Teachers Ruled the World summer series on technology in the classroom.Check out the show notes here: leahcleary.com/the-edtech-debate-with-adam-sparks
