Silver Lining for Learning The Mobiles for Education Alliance & Lessons Learned
During their SLL talk, Tony and Scott will elaborate on the rationale for, background to, and ambitions of the mEducation Alliance and share some of the general lessons they have learned from their two decades of experience working on edtech initiatives for developing countries. In addition to the Alliance’s convening role, they will also highlight three of the mEducation Alliance’s signature activities — Math Power!, Youth Digital Champions (YDC), and the EdTech Academy. Math Power! is focused on using no- and low-tech interventions to extend the joy of math, particularly through use of math games. YDC is advancing linkages between youth digital literacy skills training and their engagement in community development. Finally, the EdTech Academy is serving as a multi-media training platform to support the sharing of edtech good practices among researchers, policymakers, and implementing organizations.
