On this episode of MarketScale Mornings, zSpace Senior Director, Sales Kevin Dougherty joined Voice of B2B Daniel Litwin and B2B Media Producer Tyler Kern live in MarketScale’s Trinity Studio.

zSpace is a highly engaging augmented reality and virtual reality learning platform designed with K-12 cross-curricular lessons in mind, and zSpace trainings are designed to ensure effective and impactful implementation of its innovative resource.

As Senior Director, Sales, Dougherty helps make zSpace the industry’s leading catalyst for education, working with partners and educators to support improvement efforts.

Dougherty, Litwin and Kern discussed what makes zSpace unique in the education technology space, the potential for powerful AR an VR applications and their interactivity, particularly in STEM education, the flexible nature of these solutions, and the adaptability of zSpace solutions to all types of learners.

“It is the interaction,” Dougherty said. “I wish I had a student sitting here to speak to that, because they’re the ones who can articulate that so beautifully. It’s as if they’re touching the automobile engine or have the frog right in front of them, dissecting. From a brain standpoint, it feels real.”

Dr. José Medina argues dual language can repair school harm

Dr. José Medina argues dual language can repair school harm

Dual language researcher Dr. José Medina argues dual language programs exist to repair harm to emergent bilingual students, citing his removal from kindergarten and first grade in El Paso. A May 2023 Century Foundation review of more than 1,600 programs found English learner shares shrinking in major cities, and a 2026 Educational Policy study finds Texas Senate Bill 3 limits equity-focused professional learning.

  • 01The Supreme Court ruled in Lau v. Nichols in January 1974 that giving students who do not speak English the same teachers and textbooks is unequal treatment under the Civil Rights Act, yet federal compliance guidelines waited for a 1975 task force.
  • 02A May 2023 Century Foundation review of more than 1,600 dual language programs found English learner enrollment shares shrinking in most programs in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland and San José.
  • 03A 2026 Educational Policy study finds Texas Senate Bill 3 restricts equity-focused professional learning; the article links that squeeze to dual language guidance that relies on critical consciousness to counter program gentrification.

In this snap-together siren lesson, students feel vibration as sound

In this snap-together siren lesson, students feel vibration as sound

High Tech Rising's Oh Snap! series has students build a snap-together siren around a five-point Alarm IC, touch the speaker cone and conclude that sound is vibration. A Texas Instruments applications engineer describes lab debugging, and NGSS standard MS-PS4-1 shows the quantitative step the lesson leaves for later.

  • 01A speaker has three working parts: a permanent magnet, a coil that becomes a magnet only while current flows, and a cone that pushes air.
  • 02The lesson's Alarm IC has five connection points and only three carry the circuit, so a wrong snap produces silence and a diagnostic exercise.
  • 03NGSS MS-PS4-1 asks middle schoolers to relate amplitude to energy with math, the step a hands-on siren leaves for later.

How Louisiana plans to use 25,000 Macs and iPads to expand digital skills

Louisiana's $18 million in grants put 25,000 Macs and iPads, paired with digital skills training, into 11 organizations.
