"While others debate about if technology helps or hurts education, John Couch takes a more practical perspective. It is not about being for or against tech in the classroom, but rather about balance. Rewiring Education is an essential guide for every parent, teacher, and school administrator to better understand how to navigate (and indeed reinvent) education in the 21st century for the 21st century." --Simon Sinek, optimist and The New York Times bestselling author of Start with Why and Leaders Eat Last " Rewiring Education bridges the gap between academic research and practice and proposes a pedagogy that integrates education, learning, and technology. Through personal anecdotes from a key industry insider, this book plants the seeds for a ''rewiring'' movement that can unlock not just students'' potential, but the potential of parents, teachers, and leaders at every level!" --Dr. Todd Rose, author of The End of Average and head of the Laboratory for the Science of the Individual at Harvard University "John D. Couch has been a pioneer in online learning. He is one of the first people to truly understand the power of technology in classrooms." --Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy "At a time of accelerating technological change, our education system must learn to adapt to the needs of the future. In Rewiring Education , John D. Couch explores important questions about education--not only how we teach but also what we teach--to open the debate about modernizing the school system." --Hadi Partovi, cofounder of Code.org "John D. Couch is a true pioneer in using computers for education. His story and experience are important and should be known by all who care about kids and technology. Bravo!" --Marc Prensky, author of Education to Better Their World and Unleashing the Power of 21st-Century Kids "This is a call to arms, a tome to take seriously the brain''s penchant for exploration, its negative reaction to current learning structures, its willingness to think different. Couch lucidly describes how the digital tools of the future can be exploited to take advantage of the brain''s natural processing power. As he aptly declares, it''s time to stop ''trying to repair and replace education and start rewiring it.'' This tome belongs on your bookshelf or on your iPad." --Dr. John Medina, New York Times bestselling author of Brain Rules and molecular biologist "Through Rewiring Education , John D. Couch has certainly earned his spot as the ''father of modern education.'' His life and experiences portray true reflections on the need for change and how the world can achieve it. A deep and serious thought fantastically woven into a beautiful piece of literature that undoubtedly will be the ''scripture'' for all educators in the days to come!" --Radhika Lee, founder and director of the Nairobi International School and author of Rainbows in My Clouds "Our mission as educational leaders, compelled to advance our nation, must be to prepare our children for a complex world driven by exponential technological acceleration and fierce global competition. The extraordinary impact that results from inspiring every child''s full potential can only be realized by thoughtfully and systematically incorporating instructional technology in every classroom across the United States. This incredible book by John Couch is a must-read for every educator committed to transforming learning and every leader dedicated to creating a remarkable public education system." --Don Haddad, Ed.D, superintendent of schools, St. Vrain Valley School District "Steve Jobs talked about making a dent in the universe, and John Couch definitely has been one of the best at making those dents. Since the day I met him, I could see why Steve Jobs was so inspired by him. This book, in my opinion, is only the beginning of the conversation John plans to extend to all of us to help reassess and rethink." --Marco Torres, educator

Synopsis
The Vice President of Education at Apple, Inc. provides an insider's look at the roles innovation and technology have played, and continue to play, in the field of education and how these factors change the way we teach our children., The Vice President of Education at Apple, Inc. provides an insider's look at the roles that innovation and technology have played, and continue to play, in the field of education., What if we could unlock the potential in every child? As it turns out, we can. Apple's iconic co-founder Steve Jobs had a prescient vision for education, where technology could be used to have an enormous positive effect on the lives of millions of students. The man Jobs tapped to realize this vision was John D. Couch, a trusted engineer and executive who had a passion for education. Couch believed learning needed to be personal and collaborative. He argued the real purpose of education was to help children discover their uniqueness and empower them to reach beyond their perceived potential. However, changing a system that has notoriously resisted change for the past century proved to be no small task, even for an Apple vice president. Now, though, technology is increasingly integrated into every aspect of our lives, rewiring our homes, our jobs, and even our brains. Most important, a rewiring of education is finally beginning to unlock the potential of our schools, children, and society. In Rewiring Education, Couch shares the professional lessons he's learned during his 50-plus years in education and technology. He takes us behind Apple's major research study, Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT), and its follow-up (ACOT 2), highlighting the powerful effects of the Challenge-Based Learning framework. Going beyond Apple's walls, he also introduces us to some of the most extraordinary parents, educators, and entrepreneurs from around the world who have ignored the failed promises of memorization and, instead, utilize new science-backed methods and technologies that benefit all children, from those who struggle to honor students. Rewiring Education examines the future, looking at the most promising of the emerging technologies, and how we, as parents, teachers, and voters, can ensure our children are provided with opportunities and access to the relevant, creative, collaborative, and challenging learning environments they need to succeed both today and tomorrow., What if we could unlock the potential in every child?
