Ushering in the Imagination Economy with Josh Reppun of @MLTSinHawaii

 

Today’s EdTech is shaping a new generation of students who’ll be well-suited and prepared for what our guest, education thought leader and founder of @MLTSinHawaii Josh Reppun, calls the imagination economy. “This is an inflection point,” Reppun says. “We’re at a moment where we can’t have teachers be a sage on the stage. We have to get kids ready for the imagination economy, or what Tom Friedman calls the creative economy.

EdTech has to play a role in that.” On today’s episode of the EdTech Podcast, we spoke on Josh’s twists and turns through the industry, how it reflects the evolution of education technology beyond mere devices, and the impact a more creative economy will have on students.
