  2. 89. How will the metaverse reshape education? with Rebecca Kantar of Roblox

Feb 15, 2023

According to a recent EdBuild study, majority-nonwhite districts nationwide receive 23 billion dollars less in funding every year than majority-white districts, despite serving the same number of students. Funding not only affects the quality of school facilities but access to up-to-date instructional materials. This gap impacts students’ education and perpetuates racial and economic inequities in the country. How can technology create a more equitable education for all students? Can the metaverse help break down barriers when it comes to learning opportunities? In what ways will the metaverse define the future of education?

   

In this episode, Kevin discusses the educational opportunities of the metaverse with Vice President of Education at Roblox, Rebecca Kantar.
