The Problem Solving Generation [Interview with Google’s Jaime Casap] – SULS020

Today on the show I have Jaime Casap, Google’s Chief Education Evangelist and lead advocate of the problem-solving The Problem Solving Generationgeneration. Jaime credits his less-than opportune upbringing and his luck in education for his current position. He wants to share his “luck” with other students just like him so that this generation of students are best prepared to lead and succeed.

Jaime and I chat about everything from teaching above the test and measuring abstract metrics, to finding ways to inspire educators and helping them realize the role of technology in today’s classroom. We both feel very passionately about giving students the opportunity to be measured on their ability to collaborate, problem-solve, and think critically rather than fill in bubbles on a test. 

One of his most important and personal goals is to teach educators how best to speak to children and young adults in situations of poverty. He’s co-written a book called Our First Talk About Poverty and has created a YouTube channel where he creates videos designed to inspire the next generation to action no matter their circumstances. 

This episode was chock-full of fantastic advice, passionate opinions, and actionable steps for creating a more collaborative classroom. Listen in and prepare to be inspired.
