      The word easy stands out to me here. Schools are proving that it isn't easy to subvert or to entrench the meritocratic, racially segregated, class-based system of education. There is deliberate struggle on both sides and progress is painfully slow. What I find to be true is that if you follow the money, you find that it the dollars are best organized in the effort to further entrench our inequitable systems. 
  • we need to get the ideologies that are hardwired into computers out of the classroom.
  • These were days of experimentation, and as Seymour teaches us, re-imagining what these powerful machines could enable students to do. (That’s why the computer matters, Seymour argued — something you could tinker and think with. Not this other word that ISTE now invokes, “technology.”) And then came the network.

      How has the network stifled tinkering, innovation and progress?

  • What “the network” introduced in educational technology was also a more centralized control of computers. No longer was it up to the individual, innovative teacher to have a computer in her classroom. It was up to the district, the Central Office. It was up to IT. 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.
  • Computers are a tool of surveillance.
  • If we want schools to be democratizing, then we need to stop and consider how computers are likely to entrench the very opposite. Unless we stop them.
  • 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.”
  • 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.”

    "I'm going to say something that may not be popular now, but I hope you'll bear with me for a minute. To me, the Make Bank feels like it's for "the good stuff" or for the fancy makers. This isn't necessarily because of anything Educator Innovator or CLMOOC has put out; it's just my feel. I'll be honest… I'm intimidated by it! Since I'm a little bit intimidated by it, I don't really think about the Make Bank as I'm playing with CLMOOC prompts. I'll be really frank -- the page in the Make Bank featuring the comic is the only one I've visited since I started with the CLMOOC in 2013. I'm a little bit embarrassed to mention that, but I mention it because I might not be the only person who has this experience. If others are intimidated by the Make Bank and staying in the more social spaces like G+, Twitter, or Facebook, I think this comic should be there too. The audience of the comic is those who are new to CLMOOC and making, so the comic should be in places new participants frequent. "

  • A mashup of democratic and project-based learning would enhance the characteristics that lie at the heart of the entrepreneurial mindset. Zhao envisions schools that combine three essential elements: a freedom-based, non-coercive environment (as can be found at England’s democratic Summerhill School); enhanced project-based learning opportunities (such as those offered at New Technology High in Napa, California); and interaction with the larger world (as practiced by a program that allows students at the Cherwell School in Oxford, England, to collaborate with students at the Gcato School in Eastern Cape, South Africa).

      These might be three principles to consider in my own work to make my classroom more democratic.
