A great detailed piece on how the engineer perspective can contribute to the intersection between education and technology:
“Having more engineers in ed-tech could foster a substantive leap forward in innovation — in both education and technology. Too often the software designed for schools lags behind consumer tech. It’s clunky and it’s ugly. By bringing more engineers to work on education, we can build better applications. In turn, students and teachers get to benefit from the best and most innovative technology. And when cutting edge technology evolves from the education technology sector, the status and appeal (and recruiting power) of the whole industry could be elevated.”
