Event: The EdTech Timeline: An Overview of How We Got Here and Where We’re Heading
Join me and Emily Cherkin, aka The Screentime Consultant, in a conversation about how EdTech came to be by looking at a timeline of events.
I am excited to sit down and talk with Emily Cherkin, The Screentime Consultant on her free webinar series Tuesday, April 8th at 4pm est. I met Emily over a year ago when I joined Fairplay’s Screens in Schools Action Network work group. I was immediately struck by her passion and impressed by her extensive work on the topic of screen time and its harms on children.
We’ll take a look back and highlight how “educational technology” evolved and what lies ahead. The future of education is at a precipice as the tech industry is now pushing AI as the next solution. The National Educational Technology Plan published in 2010 is being reused and the word “technology” is replaced with “AI”.
Are we willing to wait another 15 years to look back and see the harms that AI has created?
Please join Emily and I as we discuss the edtech timeline I created for Environmental Progress and what we can do moving forward to undo the death grip that big tech has on education. See link below to sign up and for more information:
