Low-impact technology use in education is a wicked problem. Wicked problems are important, complex, multi-faceted, ill-structured, ill-defined, and as yet un-resolved problems that matter (Rittel & Webber, 1978). Disrupting the epidemic of low-impact technology use is a wicked problem that has mattered to Dr. Sonny Magana for over 35 years. A pioneering education researcher and author, Sonny synthesized the research evidence on pedagogy and technology into the T3 Framework for Innovation in Education. The strategies in the T3 Framework have an observed effect size that is equivalent to a quadrupling of academic achievement (Haystead & Marzano, 2009; 2010; Haystead & Magana, 2013; Magana & Marzano, 2014; Magana, 2016; 2017; 2018). Here are three discussion questions:
- What is the purpose of modern education?
- In what ways have we developed school systems that are technologically rich. but innovatively poor?
- What will we commit to do to double academic achievement in our classrooms, schools, and districts?
