Dr. Chris Dede, the Timothy E. Wirth Professor in Learning Technologies at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, is encouraging teachers to embrace mobile learning devices to effectively engage more students, especially those who struggle with conventional instruction. “Teaching is like an orchestra,” Dede said. “There are many different instruments, and to reach everyone you need to put a symphony of different kinds of pedagogy together. Learning technologies provide a set of instruments teachers can use to achieve that range of instructional strategies.” Reflecting on the opportunity to ignite a passion for learning through augmented reality, a technologically enhanced version of reality, and mobile learning devices, Dede offers teachers a guided tour of his vision for a 21st century education.
