Today's Newsletter: Edtech and Trump

As the transition continues, more Former NYC Chancellor Harold Levy pens this rosy opinion piece for Fox: “She favors computer-assisted instruction to meet the individual educational needs of each child, providing a digital version of what a one-on-one tutor would do.” Matt Barnum on The 74 blog, does a deep dive Betsy DeVos’ support of virtual schools: “DeVos’s support for online schools would seem to put her at odds with some charter school advocates, highlighting a tension between choice advocates who emphasize accountability and student achievement and those who argue that choice serves as its own form of accountability. And this Detroit News editorial endorses her selection: “DeVos understands that education needs to move into the modern era and away from curriculum mandates and rote testing. Trump would do well to bring that outlook to his administration.” —Kevin Hogan, Content Director
