Technology has changed how we live and work over the last 35 years, disrupting many sectors of our society. However many schools are still organized the same way and are characterized by high student dropout and high work pressure among teachers. But stressful environments are not effective for learning. Does technology have the answers to these problems? Fortunately, a number of successful schools prove it. Jeroen Krouwels was a teacher but is now an EdTech entrepreneur. In his talk, he describes through his own experience why transformation takes so long, and how digital transformation will eventually take place at scale. Jeroen Krouwels was trained as a teacher in the 1980s but did not find work. Retrained as an ICT expert, he has devoted his entire career to applying ICT in education and L&D. He is seen as one of the founders of the e-learning industry in The Netherlands. Today he is the director of hihaho.com, a global layer technology platform for interactive video. As a guest lecturer at the Foundation for Corporate Education and SBO in the Netherlands, he also trains teachers and L&D professionals in redesigning education and training. As a guest speaker, he is regularly asked to give his vision on learning and technology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
