"ClassDojo is advancing a metric-driven form of school discipline which is underpin[ned] by, and promotes, neoliberal values." I have yet to encounter ClassDojo in my kids' education, but if (when?) I do...ugh.

Read my, @charleswlogan.bsky.social, and @philnichols.bsky.social 3rd and final (for now) post in the Civics of Tech parent blog series! This was a real labor of love thinking through my own role and commitments as a parent to advancing more critical approaches to edtech in schooling.

GenAI has shaken up trust in education, students feel monitored, faculty feel unsure, and AI tools aren't perfect. Maybe the focus shouldn’t be on catching ‘cheaters’ but on building trust and using AI to genuinely enhance learning. Transparency goes both ways!

Sal Khan: "Clearly, when you 'sleep on a problem,' some part of your brain continues to work even though 'you'aren't aware of it. Neurons activate...This happens trillions of times overnight, a process mechanically analogous to what happens in a large language model." This is pure horseshit.

This was such an illuminating discussion, and thanks to Dr. Crooks for joining us. I'll be carrying his words with me: "the United States cannot use access to technology to ameliorate the racist status quo of racially segregated public schools...despite the sensational claims of the tech sector."
