Can I have your attention?
The challenge of obtaining and keeping students’ attention in schools and colleges was the subject of several of our most popular episodes of the Edsurge Podcast in the past year.
Part of this concerned the question of whether schools should prohibit smartphones – one of the biggest political debates of the year in the education of kindergarten in the 12th year. But the listeners were also attracted to episodes that have examined more important problems, such as the way the phones have changed the students’ attention even when the devices are put aside.
While we are starting in 2025, we watch the episodes of the superior podcast chosen by listeners like you, and you can see a countdown of the top 10 below.
Subjects on how AI is part of education continued to attract listeners this year, including our interview with Sal Khan, founder of the Khan Academy for non -profit, on the new chatbot tutor of his group.
And two episodes of our narrative series on the growing skepticism of the college made the cup, which both focused on how students change the way they think what to do after high school.
A key theme in most of them is the way educators find it difficult to make students feel connected to the equipment in today’s classrooms. This is a complex problem that we will continue to explore during the coming year.

Should the AI chatbots be used as tutors? Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, has become one of the most vocal supporters of the idea, and he and his son are presented in a recent demo of the latest version of Chatgpt.
