Скачать или смотреть Powercast Ep 24: Show, Don’t Talk: Turning Data and Standards Into Real Impact

What happens when our systems evolve slower than the world around them? In this episode of Powercast, Curtiss Barnes, CEO of 1EdTech, joins us from the 2025 ISTE Conference in San Antonio, TX, to confront the complacency that slows progress in K-12 systems.

From the early days of edtech startups to today’s most urgent challenges, Barnes shares how interoperability standards like LTI gave some companies a critical head start while others fell behind. He breaks down how seamless data exchange, affordable tech, and a willingness to act, even imperfectly, can help schools move forward in a time where “normal” no longer exists.

Whether you’re in the classroom, the boardroom, or building what’s next, this conversation invites you to rethink what’s possible when we lead with urgency, trust data, and stop waiting for change to arrive.
