The author, Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, will join us July 9 to help us kick off our learning and sharing.

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


Please note that by registering for this first session on July 9, you will also be automatically registered for the next two sessions, on July 23 and August 6, and will receive communication for those sessions prior to these dates.
