The EdTech Paradox
by Frederic Kopp
In the wake of the pandemic, classrooms globally have become digital frontiers. But as countries like Sweden begin to pull back from heavy screen-based learning, we have to ask: Are we upgrading our students or dehumanizing them? In this episode, I explore the "EdTech Paradox." From Anita Rampal’s "Trojan Horse" metaphor to Sam Sellar’s "Austerity Curve," this podcast challenges educators to look beneath the sleek glass of the iPad to see who the technology is truly working for.
