In this Podcast:

Ian Grove-Stephensen is Managing Director at Chalkface Project/Yacapaca formative assessment.

Moore’s Law has turned industry after industry on its head, freeing us to do whatever we do better, faster and more enjoyably. The one holdout has been education. What little technology has been applied has simply been layered on top of the old model, and it has had very little measurable benefit. I have made it my mission to change that by bringing new, more effective, technology-mediated learning methods to the educational community.

We talk about the role of educator in the teaching and learning process. Teacher is the Main Technology in the Classroom because he/she is an enabler of all the classroom processes.

  3. Yacapaca Yacapaca now serves over 100,000 teachers with 3,000,000+ student accounts, but it’s been a long and lonely road. We started Yacapaca before the Bubble, but somehow failed to get funded even during those wild years. That is probably the only reason we survived them. Since then, we just got our heads down and slogged away improving the product, not bothering with sales or marketing (or lunch, even) and just letting the service sell itself. Which it does.
