Role of Technology in Education

At a recent Tedx event, Andrew Essex discusses the achievement gap and the digital divide in the US and how the proliferation of technology and its explosive growth can contribute to creating a student education network.

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

Andrew Essex is the CEO of Droga5. Droga5 is an advertising agency devoted to brands that will shape the 21st Century.

PLEASE NOTE - the speaker in the video occasionally uses strong language that some may find offensive.
