.@LeanlabEd Founder @KatieBoody Says #EdTech Should Root Itself in Community Voice, Co-Design ... my latest for @The74 https://t.co/NNVzab5kEC

[Leanlab Education @LeanlabEd]

"The end goal here is that we actually want to see outsized impact. We want technology to actually live up to its promise of accelerating student outcomes beyond what we’ve seen."

[The 74 @The74]

.@katieboody stressed the importance of co-design and her belief that technology is changing schools rapidly that large-scale, randomized control trials, which can take years to design and implement, are no longer a good fit for many research questions https://t.co/GNNtePBl0i
