When I was running all the social media channels for @scsu #GearUpworks I tried to build in all the #indieweb tools into our system. The one thing I missed would have been SMS syndication. When working with kids and parents often, fighting data caps, SMS has the greatest penetration. I ended up using @RemindHQ wonder if they would play nice.

@_adverbia @TheWeirdTeacher I also think we can get creative with edtech companies and they can make it easier for community support. Yes, issues of privilege I think there are fundraising possibilities for PTOs/PTAs Edtech companies should sponsor research in conjunction with local schls & universities

@_adverbia @TheWeirdTeacher Here I agree. I never argued for 1:1 or always on devices. In fact I encourage all my students to begin on paper. I also brought up the pencil because it is my favorite piece of edtech ever invented. If anything schools will need to push back against dopamine/serotonin pumps

You may define transformative progressively but many are defining "transformative" as horse race w/ traditional measures of learning (Cuban) or computer testing (most personalized learning start ups). UX Designer did that exist 10 years ago?

@_adverbia @TheWeirdTeacher Think we need to stop looking for tech to be transformative but recognize the world has transformed.

@LandstownMrC @TheWeirdTeacher @wikispaces @FogCreek Too many teachers are letting themselves get exploited as "ambassadors" shucking swag for free access codes. Companies make up cool names and make them feel special. I call them used. Pay for edtech but pay for edtech that fits your values.

@LandstownMrC @TheWeirdTeacher @wikispaces There are also companies playing in the edtech space like @FogCreek that don't need meteoric growth. So you can have ethical tech in private hands as well. This is not easy. I have seen Mozilla build and shutter so many projects. Soft money can't be the only answer
