Clark at University of Southern California set off a pretty epic debate based on his statement that "media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in nutrition." * So, the ice cream truck, it's a nod to Richard Clark, who frequently rings in my ear when I'm tempted to take things at face value. "Is it the method, or the medium?" I wonder. The title, No Such Thing, has a few meanings. Mostly, it emphasizes the importance of hard questions as we develop and document the narrative of "education" in the US. For Richard E. Clark, the question is whether there's such a thing as learning from new technologies. For others, it might be whether there's a panacea for the challenges we face in this field. Whatever your question, I hope that it reminds you to keep asking--yourself, your learners, others--what's working and how so. * Clark, R. E. (1983) Reconsidering Research on Learning From Media.

Why Kids Struggle to Talk Across Difference
Published 29 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And I was teaching about it. And I was teaching a class on civil discourse and communication at Chapman. I taught it at Rutgers before that. And really... What that made me realize, the teaching and the research about it, in the weeks and months after October 7th, is we all watched campuses come apart and students yelling at each other across the quads and people not being willing to listen to each other, entertain a different set of ideas, even if they disagreed with it. was that something has gone awry here because we don't have to be in agreement on issues to have a common underlying concern and interest and curiosity and understanding why someone else might see it very differently from ourselves.
