Do you feel the education system is sucking the life out of you and the pupils you serve? I think many of us wish we could click our fingers and make it fit for purpose. A place of growth with shared learning that empowers pupils to be their best selves, so they can create a world they want to inhabit now and in the future. While a magic wand or a visionary politician might sound like the answer I believe change is already happening. Educators are changing futures one conversation at a time. New technology and the environments where we learn are beginning to look different both in and out of the classroom. I hope you are seeing this first hand and are excited about what you can share with your pupils. We are having conversations, sharing organisations and communities that are supporting education in a way that you may have not experienced. Educational change will come from us all working in way that supports the best interests of each of our pupils, personalised learning. Governments and policy makers will follow when they see fully how it can be different. So let us teach, coach, mentor and create an environment that fuels every child with feedback, inspiration, resilience and empowerment. The Education on Fire community is shining the torch, so no matter where you are in the world or how you are supporting children this podcast is here for you. ‘Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.’Copyright 2026 Mark Taylor 教育

  • Wyzly Founder Adam Adler: Turning Screen Time Battles Into Learning Wins

    Wyzly Founder Adam Adler: Turning Screen Time Battles Into Learning Wins
    2026/06/29

    Adam Adler is a Charleston-based founder and investor focused on building technology that creates healthier, more sustainable systems — for families, communities, and the next generation.

    The idea for Wyzly didn't come from a pitch deck or a boardroom. It came from Adam's daughter, Isla. At seven years old, Isla proposed a simple idea that every parent instantly understands: what if kids could earn screen time by learning first?

    That moment sparked the creation of Wyzly — a learn-to-earn screen time platform designed to eliminate daily screen battles without punishment or restriction.

    Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in private equity, data-driven businesses, and systems design, Adam built Wyzly from the ground up. The platform uses AI to generate curriculum-aligned learning challenges tailored to each child's age, grade, and school district.

    Key Takeaways
    • It's the only app with this level of iOS integration. Two years working with Apple let Wyzly act as a true gatekeeper for all apps — unlocking them only after kids answer curriculum-aligned questions.
    • The AI adapts to each child. Questions adjust in difficulty based on performance and are tailored to age, grade, and school district.
    • It interrupts "doom scrolling," not just screen time. Built-in breaks prompt learning moments during long stretches of passive use — his daughter's idea.
    • Built with real experts, not guesswork. The team includes 14 in-house staff, teachers, a school principal, and a licensed child mental health counselor.
    • His daughter helped design it firsthand. She tested features, flagged confusing questions, and shaped the UX from a kid's point of view.
    • Currently U.S./iOS only, K–6. Android and more grades/countries are planned for next year.

    Chapters:

    • 00:13 - The Inspiration Behind Wyzly
    • 02:50 - The Birth of Wisely: A New Approach to Screen Time
    • 09:27 - Introducing the App and Its Unique Approach to Screen Time Management
    • 17:33 - The Importance of Sports in Education and Life

    • Understanding the neurological differences in dyslexia is crucial for effective teaching and learning strategies.
