“Even in the most technical subjects, such as introduction to calculus, students in online classes do better when the curriculum includes face-to-face encounters. The director of a Columbia University study that compared online and fact-to-face learing sums up its findings: ‘The most important thing that helps students succedd in an online course is interpersonal interaction and support.'”
~Dr. Sherry Turkle, Reclaiming Conversation The Power of Talk in a Digital Age, 2015, p. 230.

One of the many setbacks of the past two years is the learning voids among students who were kept home and not in school or other learning environments.
Perhaps our society forgot that “children don’t think like adults” (Papert, 1999) and their needs, especially for social connections are vastly different from adults (Piaget, 1966). The earlier works of Vygotsky and later works of Bruner (1968), Papert, Lave and Wenger form a continuum of social-emotional learning.
Children learn to talk by … talking (Bruner, 1968). The human voice in real-time is preferred. Along with talking, we must utilize question wait time and active listening.
~~~
Educators (and those who love them) can use EdTech Digital tools to catalyst the process of student talk in learning environments.
