Those of us studying edtech platforms and infrastructures in education talk a bit about vendor "lock-ins" - how schools can't get out of a platform once they're on it. This is a magnificent paper about that by @lucascone.bsky.social and Signe Sophus Lai www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
1. Data lock-in: Schools become dependent on Google's systems,which collect and use data from students and teachers.
2. Political lock-in: Digital solutions have become part of politicalmodernization projects—and are therefore difficult to roll back.
3. Regulatory lock-in: Legislation lags behind technology, and it isdifficult to enforce rules on global players.
4. Discursive lock-in: The debate is characterized by an "eitherChromebooks or blackboards" rhetoric that makes alternativesinvisible.
5. Temporal lock-in: The longer the technology has been in use, theharder it becomes to switch to something else.

I recently talked to @politiken.dk about infrastructural dependency in education and why we need to talk more about ownership and structural monopolies and less about concerns over individual data. Check it out here👇 or read the paper I wrote with Signe Sophus Lai on the topic (link in comment)

Velkommen i Google-klassen: »Vi er nødt til at genoverveje, om amerikanske techgiganter virkelig er den bedste løsning«
Hvis man vil forstå, hvor afhængig Danmark er blevet af amerikanske teknologivirksomheder, behøver man ikke kigge længere end til folkeskolen.

#Gaza has become a "mass grave." Palestinians and humanitarian workers are enduring extreme suffering as Israeli forces escalate their offensive.

We urge Israeli authorities to end the siege on Gaza, protect Palestinians, humanitarian and medical staff and uphold the ceasefire.

Had the pleasure of talking with @neilselwyn.bsky.social about some of my research - you can hear the result wherever you listen to podcasts 👇

New podcast episode! We talk with @lucascone.bsky.social about his ethnographic work around digital platforms in Danish schools, and the power of affect theory in critical edtech scholarship - particularly Lauren Berlant's notion of 'cruel optimism' ... www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...

With all the obscenely wealthy tech CEO’s lined up behind Trump it seems like a fitting time to share this call for papers to explore post-platform alternatives and issues in education. Time for new ecosystems, baby!
