  • Summary

  • For Between the Chapters episode, Laura is in conversation with Audrey Watters and sava saheli singh to navigate these troubling waters of educational technology. This episode swirls around the ed tech’s dystopian storm from Chapter 25; however, we all agreed there are many dark aspects from previous chapters and years prior to hit the fever pitch of 2018. The issues and challenges of a number teaching and learning technologies have been brought up in previous bonus book club chats. Beyond avoiding the sci-fi plot being drafted by technology companies, we can find agency through refusal and doing more than just being critical of ed tech. We need to return to a sense of “the commons” in higher ed, where care and compassion coexist with our practices -- let’s pack up our values & build that space again, my friends.New Round of Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Grants Steers Clear of Ed Tech Pushback Against Summit Learning Implementation in Kansas – “Start of a Rebellion,” or a Learning Experience?So You Want the Tips and Tricks of EdTech Integration… (Sal Khan)Ender’s Game (book)Black Mirror (TV)How China Is Using “Social Credit Scores” to Reward and Punish Its CitizensThe West could be closer to China's system of 'social credit scoring' than you thinkNetworked professional identity and community online (reflections)California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)Canada’s Anti-Spam LegislationGeneral Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)Schools Are Deploying Massive Digital Surveillance Systems.
