Season Four Trailer: "EdTech is mostly useless"
In January 2026, the Economist published an article with the headline: "Ed tech is profitable. It is also mostly useless." It echoed a sentiment that had been quietly building in schools across the country. And educators who had built their practice around technology started asking hard questions. So did we. The One-to-One Podcast, produced by the Learning Technology Center, is spending Season 4 chasing the question: Is EdTech mostly useless? We're sitting down with researchers, lawmakers, parent advocates, and classroom teachers — people on every side of this debate — to have a conversation about where EdTech is working, and where it's falling short. If you work in a school, lead a district, or make decisions about technology and learning — this is the season we made for you. New episodes available monthly wherever you listen.
