In this episode, Dr. Sonny Magana, a pioneer in educational technology research, shares insights from his book, Disruptive Classroom Technologies: A Framework for Innovation in Education, that features his T3 Framework for Innovation that includes a hierarchy of three domains (Translational, Transformational and Transcendent) that serve as a highly reliable model for enhancing modern instructional practice. Dr. Magana also dispels the myth that technology alone leads to improved student achievement as a generation of “Digital Natives” are falsely perceived to have the innate ability to learn independently through enhanced technology tools. Instead, Dr. Magana cites evidence that students today need trained teachers that understand the process of learning to help kids solve "wicked problems" and shift the narrative about real learning outcomes in the classroom.

Solving Wicked Problems with Dr. Sonny Magana

In this episode,&nbsp;Will Richardson, internationally-acclaimed speaker and author on educational technology, reflects on his years of experience working with school leaders from around the world to reimagine practice in the classroom and professional learning. Richardson asserts that schools are not built for learning and that we forget most of the things we learn in school because the system is based on memorization and retention for the sole purpose of passing tests and getting letter grades. Instead, learning should be built around passion, interest, relevance and actual purpose as we redefine essential skills for the future of work. He also shares information about his change.school website and Modern Learners Community that provides resources and strategies that focus on the change process for schools. Twitter: @willrich45.
