Sample quotes:

Rather than saying let’s do it like this because Vgotsky said so in the 1920s, let’s look at what is the alternative

Very very infrequently is the efficacy and impact judged in advance of major policy decisions

We want to make it more likely that the edtech products that reach our classrooms will have the best impact, not just the best marketing claims
