- For computer scientists, books like 'Failure to Disrupt' and 'The Charisma Machine' critique technological solutionism in education.
- Classroom tips emphasize active learning, reducing power dynamics, and fostering socialization.
- Techniques like limiting student answers per class and hum-voting enhance participation and engagement.
