Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of generations into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity to it, or it becomes the ‘practice of freedom’, the means by which men and women deal critically with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world."Notes for this Episode:Thor: https://www.throughthelg.comAshley Pinakiewicz on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AshleyPinaThank You For Being Late, Tom Friedman: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B01F1Z0QHA&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_wdyECb23HACSWFieldguide for Educators, IDEO: http://www.designkit.org/resources/1The Teachers Guild, an online community: https://www.teachersguild.org/Design Thinking resources from Stanford "D" School: https://dschool.stanford.edu/resources/k12-lab-network-resource-guideLeadership and Design: http://www.leadershipanddesign.org/Launch, book by John Spencer & A.J.

Clark at University of Southern California set off a pretty epic debate based on his statement that "media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in nutrition." * So, the ice cream truck, it's a nod to Richard Clark, who frequently rings in my ear when I'm tempted to take things at face value. "Is it the method, or the medium?" I wonder.The title, No Such Thing, has a few meanings. Mostly, it emphasizes the importance of hard questions as we develop and document the narrative of "education" in the US. For Richard E. Clark, the question is whether there's such a thing as learning from new technologies. For others, it might be whether there's a panacea for the challenges we face in this field. Whatever your question, I hope that it reminds you to keep asking--yourself, your learners, others--what's working and how so.* Clark, R. E.
