Teacher and former professor, technologist and technology critic

This is bad not primarily because of its effect on professors (thought that's pretty bad) but because it creates a bad learning environment for students: insidehighered.com/news/2021/04/1… How about less cameras in the classroom, not more, folks?


How often does a problem in education get met with adding a technological edtech "solution" when the better strategy might be to subtract something? This piece today in WaPo gets at one aspect of why it is so hard to think that way: washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…


I am a big fan of John Warner's writing on all things higher ed. This is a great reminder of why it is important to remember that less is, very often, more.

Indeed. Technosolutionism is never the fix. hedgehogreview.com/issues/america… I'm all for asking why. As Rosen says: "It gives us the how without forcing us to ask the why. ... [important stuff ellipsed here]... asking those “whys” is the first and most important step."
