What is the role of technology within our learning?
John Couch, Apple's first Vice President of Education, helps us understand the difference between utilizing technology as a mental bicycle and an exercise bike.
John does this through stories, personal examples, and providing insight into the vision of Steve Jobs.
Our conversation uncovers the need to provide students with challenges, build trust, and connect learning to the real world.
John Couch is a pioneer of the American tech boom. He was hired by Steve Jobs as the 54th employee and became Apple’s first Vice President of education. He is an author of Rewiring Education, owns a winery, and leads a music production company.
