“Laptops will make a good school better, but they won’t make a bad school good”
In this episode, we join Mark Warschauer (UC Irvine) for an overview of his 30 year career researching digital learning.
We talk about why digital technology continues to be hyped as a ‘game changer’ in education, how children talk to computers as compared to humans, and Mark’s experience of editing the AERA Open journal.

More from Meet The Education Researcher
We talk to Phill Dawson (Deakin University) about how to make sense of some of the latest trends around authentic assessment, self-assessment and ‘ungrading’.
Students choosing to study overseas has long been an important part of higher education, but is becoming increasingly politically contentious.
Many Australian schools have extensive rules around what students are expected to wear and what they should look like.
Getting published in academic journals can be a major source of stress for education researchers.
We hear regular reports of a ‘crisis’ in teacher recruitment and what has been characterised as an exodus of educators leaving the profession.
