About this audiobook
What if we could unlock the potential in every child? As it turns out, we can.
Apple's iconic cofounder Steve Jobs had a powerful vision for education: employing technology to make an enormous impact on the lives of millions of students. To realize this vision, Jobs tapped John D. Couch, a trusted engineer and executive with a passion for education. Couch believed the real purpose of education was to help children discover their unique potential and empower them to reach beyond their perceived limitations.
Today, technology is increasingly integrated into every aspect of our lives, rewiring our homes, our jobs, and even our brains. Most important, it presents an opportunity to rewire education to enrich and strengthen our schools, children, and society.
In Rewiring Education, Couch shares expertise gained from fifty-plus years in education and technology. He takes listeners behind Apple's major research studies, Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) and ACOT2, highlighting the powerful effects of the Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) framework. Going beyond Apple's walls, he also introduces some of the extraordinary parents, educators, and entrepreneurs from around the world who are already utilizing new science-backed methods and technologies to benefit all children, from those who struggle to honor students.

23 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book was quite interesting and enjoyed it for quite a while. But a certain point it became a bit repetitive and the author could have summarized the challenge based learning and ways to innovate in a much quicker manner.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book. A must read to understand the future of Education.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent. A must read for all the teachers using technology, whether online, face 2 face or in blended mode.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Engaging, thought provoking, but leaves more questions than answers. Hence overwhelming with a definite flaire of an oversized Apple commercial, which takes away from the argument and makes one wonder about applicability.
