Meet the Author: Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath

Educational Neuroscientist; Former Lecturer and Science of Learning Research Scientist, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne; Director, LME Global; Director, The Science of Learning Group; Honorary Research Fellow, St. Vincent's Hospital; Author, Stop Talking, Start Influencing: 12 Insights From Brain Science to Make Your Message Stick (2019); Co-Author, 10 Things Schools Get Wrong (2020), Learning Analytics in the Classroom (2018), and From Laboratory to Classroom: Translating Science of Learning for Teachers (2016)

“At a time when technology is eroding the mental health and social development of our children, Horvath shows these tools are also eroding their learning and cognitive development. Not anti-tech, but pro-learning.” - Jonathan Haidt, Author of The Anxious Generation

“At last, a clear-eyed look at what technology can - and can’t - do for learning. This book exposes inflated promises, grounding the debate in evidence from classrooms and neuroscience. If pro-tech exuberance has left you with more questions than answers, this book is essential reading.” - Daniel Willingham, Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia
