Comments by Jesse Eickholt Most recent public comments by Jesse Eickholt https://nowcomment.com/users/65382 I agree. I think we focus too much on the tech of ed. tech. and not enough on the ed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/198743?scroll_to=1851347 https://nowcomment.com/documents/198743?scroll_to=1851347 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 16:56:48 -0400 That's a good point. And it is not a quick fix (i.e., question of just providing hardware). https://nowcomment.com/documents/198743?scroll_to=1851341 https://nowcomment.com/documents/198743?scroll_to=1851341 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 16:55:12 -0400 Perhaps the instructor should consider covering the accessibility chapter. #fixit https://nowcomment.com/documents/198743?scroll_to=1851335 https://nowcomment.com/documents/198743?scroll_to=1851335 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 16:53:15 -0400 Using in image instead of text may make .... https://nowcomment.com/documents/197319?scroll_to=1837407 https://nowcomment.com/documents/197319?scroll_to=1837407 Fri, 24 Apr 2020 09:31:06 -0400 Using in image instead of text may make .... https://nowcomment.com/documents/197315?scroll_to=1837390 https://nowcomment.com/documents/197315?scroll_to=1837390 Fri, 24 Apr 2020 09:28:28 -0400 I think that setting "appropriate expectations" is wise and I agree with his suggestion.

My critique was more along the apparent discord between the ed. tech. he espouses (i.e., things to reinforce what is currently done) and his critiques of education. But I could be misinterpreting Selwyn. Maybe he doesn't take issue with the education system but rather ed. tech. Thu, 23 Jan 2020 19:32:23 -0500 I see what Selwyn is saying and I don't have any experience trying to get a community behind school technology. Yet, I think the 'charismatic champion' can be a great help. No, you don't want this person doing everything nor leaving the community ... https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1571519 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1571519 I see what Selwyn is saying and I don't have any experience trying to get a community behind school technology. Yet, I think the 'charismatic champion' can be a great help. No, you don't want this person doing everything nor leaving the community behind but it seems to me that having some folks demonstrate what is possible could be a strong catalyst to getting a community moving and understanding options. Thu, 23 Jan 2020 19:19:47 -0500 This first line is a good reminder for us. I think many see savings, either in time or effort, a strong selling point of digital technology but at least initially, it will probably be more effort. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1571514 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1571514 Thu, 11 Jun 2020 18:03:47 -0400 At 12:30, there was a nice summary of some of the discourses he sees in the digitization of education. He talks about how some might benefit from the individualized, elitist, competitive, market-driven, omnipresent, deemotionalized form of education. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1564970 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1564970 But he goes on to say these characteristics of discourses surrounding ed. tech. seem to be at odds with public education as a public good and not something to be privatized and profited from. I agree with Selwyn here. Thu, 23 Jan 2020 19:19:47 -0500 I will aspire to consider the unintended consequences of my ed. tech. use, particularly the data collection of 3rd party tools. There is a saying that goes along the lines of if you are not the consumer, you are the product. What of my data is sold? https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1564963 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1564963 Thu, 11 Jun 2020 18:03:47 -0400 From this paragraph I gather that Selwyn assumes that ed. tech. cannot be transformative. What I would take issue with is how he then expects change to take place. In other words, if ed. tech. is to simply reinforce what is being done, what will change? https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1564886 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164890?scroll_to=1564886 Thu, 11 Jun 2020 18:03:47 -0400
