I can’t tell what gives me more hope: @andyliddell.bsky.social and Julie’s work at the EdTech Law Center; or Celeste, a high school students’, brilliant engagement with their work in this week’s @civicsoftech.bsky.social blog.

Putting together resources for a Critical EdTech grad course I'm teaching this fall, and definitely using some of the keynotes from @civicsoftech.bsky.social conferences. The 2023 keynote from @lucipangrazio.bsky.social is a gem! www.civicsoftechnology.org/2023conference

I'll say it again: Big Tech's use of AI technologies to capture education is not inevitable. Over at @civicsoftech.bsky.social, we're developing a community for resisting, refusing, repurposing, and reimagining technology in education. Join us!

I had the pleasure of joining Dr. Bender and Dr. Hanna for some ridicule as praxis, this time focused on AI hype in K-12 and higher education. Take a listen - and here's to the ongoing fight against Big Tech and their allies' attempts to capture education!

enjoying being in community with folks who are, if not hardline refusers, at least extremely critical of AI in ways that are hopeful and intent on shifting perspectives of those who uncritically take to AI tools. appreciate what @civicsoftech.bsky.social is doing to foster this conversation :)

I took a short break from my self-imposed writing isolation today to attend the @civicsoftech.bsky.social conference today. I love the conversations on resisting Ed Tech narratives.

So grateful to the organizers and presenters @civicsoftech.bsky.social for "Communal Resistance to Artificial Systems." Learning so much from Lee Skallerup Bessette and her class coursesites.georgetown.domains/writ-1150-16... (reminding me that I wrote a speech about the pencil as an 8-year-old?)

Thanks for all the new follows during our #CivicsofTech25 conference! Keep interacting with our content and we'll eventually get you all followed back! Also, message @dankrutka.bsky.social to be added to our Starter Pack: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Listening to @alexhanna.bsky.social and the brilliant idea of ridicule as praxis as a method for critiquing technology hype, particularly around AI as part of @civicsoftech.bsky.social book club. @charleswlogan.bsky.social

Happening now... you can still late register. Just use our contact page!

I want us to have more events like this from @civicsoftech.bsky.social in education as I’m tired of vendor events and research ED that present a carefully selected not too confronting mostly white viewpoint. www.civicsoftechnology.org/2025conference
