Factors in Car Price Quotations; The Struggle over Educational Technology in the United States 123 views

In the U.S. public schools, how are tech companies, school systems, K-12 teachers, parents and students competing to influence the proper place of edtech in the classroom? The best use of edtech in K-12 education in the United States is controversial. School districts, tech companies, K-12 teachers, parents, and students compete to determine how edtech should be used. Edtech raises problems of data privacy / security, and about whether it should supplement or displace traditional teaching methods. It also entails problems of training and support for teachers. Underlying the debate are fundamental differences in educational ideas and values. People who regard learning as the highest purpose of education tend to welcome edtech as a class of tools that can improve students’ learning capacity and measure what they have learned. People who maintain that education serves purposes higher than learning, such as personal growth, autonomy, judgment, and communal harmony, tend to accept edtech in supplementary roles, while favoring direct interpersonal modes of education for most classroom activities.
