In this paper, Foundation for Child Development Young Scholar, Ariel Kalil finds that recent advances in technology and innovation hold great promise for promoting dual-generational educational skills. Technological solutions can potentially solve problems identified in past interventions, including problems associated with cost-effectiveness, take-up and retention, program intensity, quality and content of instruction, and parent-child interaction. Most importantly, new technology-based approaches hold the potential to increase within-family synergies that reinforce educational motivation, persistence, and interest of both parents and children. Harnessing these opportunities offers the promise of improving the educational outcomes of America’s low-income children and their families.
