But what does the research actually say? Adam Sparks, former classroom teacher, Stanford-trained learning designer, and co-founder of the writing tool Short Answer, brings the receipts.\nIn this episode, Lindy and Adam dig into why blanket screen time bans are a response to moral panic more than evidence, what John Hattie's meta-analyses actually tell us about technology in classrooms, and why lumping thousands of different tools under the label \"EdTech\" makes about as much sense as measuring the effect size of a chalkboard. They also get into how to evaluate EdTech efficacy, what a logic model is and why every school should be asking for one, and how Short Answer is rethinking writing instruction in the age of AI.\nShort Answer: https://myshortanswer.com/  \nAdam’s Substack: https://adamsparks.substack.com/ \nConnect with Adam: adam@myshortanswer.com\nShort Answers Portfolio of Efficacy: https://myshortanswer.com/our-approach/ \nWriting Instruction for the Age of AI Workshop: https://myshortanswer.com/professional-development/ ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6wPWuZtSVgXFNTl_XHb_cOlCc4vqpHUdQvcIsdwiyOw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xYzM3/ZTFhYzUwNWYzZDVk/MTUwNDRmZWIzYWRj/MzkwYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
