Edtech Who the &*#% are you?

This is another in the recent spate of posts questioning the nature of edtech. Alan Levine remind us there's more than one identity at play here. "I celebrate the real edtech I know," he writes, "the spirit and people that are not in it for venture capital chips or scale gorging." And it's funny: for all the writing and research Audrey Watters did, I think he never really got to know the lower-case edtech, where people really did support things like open access, genuine learning, care and community. I think that if she had, she would have felt less like a Cassandra. Not that I'm criticizing her; I just think that people did listen, but she could never hear them above the din of capitalist EdTech.
