| | | | 'Education Technology's Completely Over'
"...I hope that by retelling the story of Prince and the Internet, by telling a counter-narrative to one that’s simply 'Prince hated it,' we can think about what’s wrong with how ed-tech – as an industry and as an institutional practice – treats those doing creative and scholarly work. Not because we hate or resist the Internet, but because we want to build and support technologies that are not exploitative or extractive." —Audrey Watters, Hack Education |
