Marco Torres gets it and tells it how we need to hear it! As a former Los Angeles high school teacher and now a technology and innovation educator, and a member of Barrack Obama’s Technology in Education Advisory Committee, he discussed digital learning on ABC Radio National.

He talked about how many schools get caught up in the ‘buzz’ of technological tools and neglect to focus on the purpose; how these tools can empower teachers and students to creatively learn. Furthermore, he talks about the approach schools should take in the ulilisation of these tools to ‘bring the real world into classrooms’ and allow students to ‘access the studio, stage and community’ that technological tools provide.

Have a listen!
