Ady Kidron

Eddie & Jules Trump Foundation

Alum

Ady received his PhD from the Education Technologies program at the University of Haifa, under the academic supervision of Prof. Yael Kali. His research examines the nature of interdisciplinary thinking and interdisciplinary learning, and their relation to knowledge integration processes within the context of technology-enhanced learning communities.

In addition to his academic research, Ady led a project (a cooperation between LINKS research center and Kadima Mada – World ORT) aiming to implement an instructional model, developed as part of his research, in three Israeli high schools. Teachers from each of these schools are trained to design and enact interdisciplinary study units based on technology-enhanced learning communities. Ady has worked as a professional instructional designer for more than 18 years in different ed-tech companies (e.g. Time To Know, Britannica Knowledge Systems, Edunet/Emblaze, Eduself). He is currently a Program Officer at the Eddie & Jules Trump Family Foundation.
