When it comes to education, there is perhaps no chief evangelist more visible than Google’s Jaime Casap. A nine-year employee of the tech giant, he’s been with the company since its launch of Google Apps for Education at Arizona State University. “I was part of that original team that put all of that together here in Phoenix, AZ, where I actually live,” he said. “There’s a generation of students coming to college that are a little bit different from the ones that they’re used to, and they’re learning in a different way,” Casap said, adding that a lot of the innovation in education is occurring in K-12 and will likely have some impact on higher ed. And while he sees Google playing a role in facilitating that innovation, he says the tech giant will never be seen driving pedagogy or telling educators how to do their jobs.
