        Whenever there’s a new technology that enables fundamentally new things we usually spend about ten years saying, “What if we took this thing that was mediocre, and did exactly the same thing but with this new technology?!” Looking at you, blockchain

        2) the small #edtech investment community acts like three year olds on a soccer field chasing the same ball. #MOOC our perfect example. Any #edtech expert knew that #MOOC would fail, it's the same shity #distancelearning model just with more people

        4/There is no vision or risk-taking in disrupting education. Existing publishers can’t let go of their content.

        2/We talked with @gatesfoundation and they ended up giving their grants to old school publishers because, “They have the ability to reach large groups of students.”

        1/Don’t get me started. I had an ed-tech startup called Textfyre that proposed replacing textbooks with interactive stories that inherently tracked progress. All content for several disciplines would be baked into each story. One story per chapter of normal textbook.

        1)#edtech #investors need to think outside the traditional #Education box and drop their bias. They need to start listening to experts in the field and not consider them the problem in #edtech. It's almost if they are hedging against #Students & #educators in their #Investments

        3/And everyone said there’s no money for our idea when we were showing a 90% decrease in textbook cost, eliminating testing (its embedded in interactivity), higher retention, and adaptive leveling (auto adjust reading levels).

        1) Yeap--totally get it. We launched a product that an independent study showed 92% teachers would use in the classroom. I got told by edtech investors it was an interesting idea, I wasn't technical enough to make it. Even after it launched!

        2)fast forward-1 yr same group of investors copy product & build from scratch with a founder with NO education or technical background, then promote this former #VC #founder as an innovator. #Edtech needs to take a serious look at their practices if they want to move the needle.
