Problematising education and digital technology webinar
Join us for an exciting webinar as part of a global event convened by Neil Selwyn, Professor of Digital Technology, Society and Education at the School of Education, Monash University.
The University of East Anglia (UEA) schools of Education and Lifelong Learning and Computing Sciences invite researchers, teachers and educators across East Anglia to join us for an exciting Critical Studies of Education and Technology webinar this February to explore Problematising education and digital technology.
Be a part of meaningful discussions, led by members of the Enhancing Teacher Agency with Technology team from UEA, looking at how and why teachers use technology (EdTech) to build a new model for understanding teachers’ agency with technology in context.
We shall be exploring:
What are the pressing issues, concerns, tensions and problems that surround EdTech in our locality? What questions do we need to ask, and what approaches will help us research these questions?
What social harms are we seeing associated with digital technology and education in our locality?
What does the political economy of EdTech look like in our region? What do local EdTech markets look like? How are global Big Tech corporations manifest in local education systems? What does EdTech policy look like, and which actors are driving policymaking? What do we find if we ‘follow the money’?
What grounds for hope are there? Can we point to local instances of digital technology leading to genuine social benefits and empowerment? What local push-back and resistance against egregious forms of EdTech is evident? What alternate imaginaries are being circulated about education and digital futures?
This webinar will be recorded.
