“Disheartening results from a well-designed study on flipped classrooms. Mixed results in short term but any benefit quickly faded and it exacerbated the achievement gap. The hope that technology would revolutionize learning is fading. https://t.co/54GFrrBJJc”
That’s all about hardware though. What about software? Also around the same time two years ago, I made a list of the 10 most influential computer programs ever written. I think the Apollo Guidance Computer is probably missing from both my lists, hardware and software – what else did I miss?
