"...the right tech in the right way with the right content, with the right pedagogy. That's the big equation. All four of those things matter." - Thor Prichard from Clarity Innovations, Inc. We talk about pedagogy leading tech selection and use in classrooms, but Thor's framework here is helpful, and he offered some examples in our conversation on the Why Distance Learning? Podcast with Allyson Mitchell and Tami Moehring from Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration (CILC). Thor's insights come from a career using #cognitivepsychology to bridge the gap between #edtech and educators. We also dive into the issue of #dopamine in education. Thor acknowledges the negative perception of dopamine-driven engagement but suggests that, when used correctly, it can motivate students and enhance learning. He emphasizes the importance of using these techniques thoughtfully to simplify and improve teaching with technology, rather than gamifying education in a superficial way.
