Podcast Summary:
In this episode, I introduce School Sphere, my innovation project designed to streamline communication between students, parents, and educators. I discuss the need for a unified communication platform in schools, the research that supports this shift, and how School Sphere creates space for meaningful learning connections by removing digital barriers. I also connect these ideas to constructivist learning theory (Ertmer & Newby, 2013), effective technology integration practices (Roblyer & Hughes, 2019), and the importance of feedforward thinking (Harapnuik, 2016).
