    “From Reopen to Reinvent”: Ushering in Post-Pandemic Education (with Michael B. Horn)

    The COVID-19 pandemic monumentally disrupted the American education system. The pandemic can be a catalyst for something better or it reinforce the status quo.  On this episode of TechEnabled, John is joined by Michael Horn, the co-founder and distinguished fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation and author of From Reopen to Reinvent: (Re)Creating School for Every Child. Michael argues that we have an opportunity to rethink the notion that a one-size-fits-all school system is the right answer for developing students and supporting parents. He joins the podcast to discuss how we can leverage the pandemic’s disruptions to foster a better education system. Michael shares some perspectives on change management in moving from responding to threats to seizing opportunities and how the theory of Jobs to Be Done can be used to help build the learning experiences that parents and students demand.

    The Future of Online Education at the Khan World School (with Salman Khan and Amy McGrath)

    With students returning to the classroom, the toll the pandemic has taken on our education system has only become more apparent. Students have fallen behind academically and teachers are overstretched. But the pandemic has also upended many long standing assumptions about education and created room to experiment with new approaches. A recent Echelon Insights poll for the National Parents Union found 53 percent of parents believe we should not be returning to normal, but use the moment to rethink how we educate students.   On this episode of "Tech Enabled," John Bailey is joined by Salman Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy, and Amy McGrath, COO at Arizona State University (ASU) Prep. They recently announced a partnership to launch the Khan World School at ASU Prep, an online, global high school for students who have demonstrated strong academic potential but want to take their education to the next level. Focusing on mastery, community, and collaboration, the Khan World School is at the forefront of rethinking the traditional education model. On this episode, we discuss how first principles thinking was applied to reinvent school and how they addressed some of the challenges experienced with previous versions of remote learning.

    Combatting online misinformation with ratings, not censorship (with Gordon Crovitz and Steven Brill)

    One of the most significant challenges facing Americans is misinformation and the systems by which it spreads and is amplified. Amid the debate around censorship and deplatforming has emerged a new approach - human-curated ratings and detailed "nutrition labels" to help empower people with gauging the trustworthiness of websites and news services. On this episode of “TechEnabled,” John Bailey is joined by  two of America’s most respected journalists and authors Gordon Crovitz and Steven Brill who co-founded NewsGuard, a company which has developed a series of tools and services to help users find credible news and information online, while alerting them to untrustworthy sources they may see in their Facebook or Twitter feeds or in search results .In this episode, they discuss the nature of misinformation, how it spreads, and how more transparency and better information can help counter it.

    Leveraging tech talent to deliver good policy (with Jennifer Anastasoff)

    One of the greatest challenges of modern-day policymaking rests not in the development of new policies, but rather in their implementation.  Some of the boldest policy ambitions of the last decade have been derailed due to the failure to understand how to deliver services through digital channels. This is why it is increasingly important for policymakers to have technology experts at the table when designing and executing new policy programs.  On this episode of “TechEnabled,” John Bailey is joined by Jennifer Anastasoff, founder and executive director of the Tech Talent Project — a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the ability of the US government to bring in experienced technical leaders. With a background in both the public and private sectors, Anastasoff discusses why understanding technology is important in implementing government policies and how the Tech Talent Project is helping bring technology expertise into government service.

    PolicyMap helps us understand trends in our communities and chart a path to recovery

    National trends are important. Local trends are more important. An interactive mapping service from PolicyMap helps leaders to quickly visualize and understand the trends within their communities. The data can reveal racial and economic disparities, identify areas lacking essential services, and help with planning where to deploy various resources and supports. What’s staggering about PolicyMap is the amount of available data: 50,000 indicators. Understanding these and other trends is critical to shaping policy, particularly with strengthening local economies and communities.

    A conversation with VMware's COO Sanjay Poonen

    One of the most significant technology trends over the last decade is the shift of services and computing power to the cloud. COVID-19 accelerated these efforts as companies stood up remote work operations, business operations moved online, and government agencies scrambled to deliver services through digital channels. The underlying technology that supports these shifts and so much of what we experience online every day comes from a VMware. We’re joined this week by the COO Sanjay Poonen where we discuss some of the insights they’ve learned over the last year, including the surge of telemedicine and how VMware helped Moderna with developing a lifesaving COVID vaccine. We also discuss cybersecurity and VMware’s pledge to close the workforce gender gap by 2030.
