The sorts of hardware and software that were purchased had to meet those needs — the needs and the desire of the administration, not the needs and the desires of innovative educators, and certainly not the needs and desires of students.

The mainframe never went away. And now, virtualized, we call it “the cloud.” Computers and mainframes and networks are a point of control. Computers are a tool of surveillance. Databases and data are how we are disciplined and punished. Quite to the contrary of Seymour’s hopes that computers will liberate learners, this will be how all of us will increasingly be monitored and managed.

  I hope she suggests a solution. #clmooc would be leaders. How to share this perversion of possibilities. The "adjacent possible" of the good became the priority instead of adjacent.

The latter should give us pause
- Sheri Edwards on 30 Jun 15
  
  I'm pausing. So many things reeling in my head: how can bad be the most powerful? people: identities unaccepted; control; We're supposed to be civilized. But are we -- if this is what we do?

challenge it
- Sheri Edwards on 30 Jun 15
  
  When we challenge it, we will see HOW the data will be used against us as those controlling it will want to silence us, not find another way to work with people.

little thought about the Terms of Service,
- Sheri Edwards on 30 Jun 15
  
  I do read the terms of service, and I know that Google wants me to share, so gives me my ownership. Yes, collecting data. Advertising. So how do we as those sharing, work with Google, etc. to to make a better world? What is a "better world" ? Aren't there Google aspects reaching out to help identify environmental and social problems? Is everything here bad? I don't want it to be.

“Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate.”

  I remember. My brother made a keypunch card with "the finger" on it. 1970s I wonder where I put that? His quiet push back.

you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!
- Sheri Edwards on 30 Jun 15
  
  And, again, where is the HOW? How do we push back? The optout movement has started, and the pushback on them is fierce; fierce to keep the testing going. What do "the people" do? This is the alarm. We have no firetruck. Give us some tools. Now. Please.

ISTE is the perfect place to question what the hell we’re doing in ed-tech in part because this has become a conference and an organization dominated by exhibitors. Ed-tech — in product and policy — is similarly dominated by brands. 60% of ISTE’s revenue comes from the conference exhibitors and corporate relations; touting itself as a membership organization, just 12% of its revenue comes from members. Take one step into that massive shit-show called the Expo Hall and it’s hard not to agree: “Yes, it is time to give up on computers in schools.”

  What are some ways we can evaluate the knowledgeable others who inform our practice, or the organizations that supply the tools we adopt in schools, to always understand the market motivations at work?

The stakes are high here in part because all this highlights Google’s thirst for data — our data. The stakes are high here because we have convinced ourselves that we can trust Google with its mission: “To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”
- onewheeljoe on 03 Jul 15
  
  We've convinced ourselves that we can trust Google with its mission because to investigate the way Google might influence us by monopolizing search is beyond most people's ability or inclination to understand the inner workings of the Internet.
