FCC Dismantles 'Net Neutrality' Policy, and K-12 Schools Await Impact

FCC Dismantles 'Net Neutrality' Policy, and K-12 Schools Await Impact | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
The Federal Communications Commission voted today to dismantle a policy designed to protect "net neutrality," in a dramatic shift that has roiled the public and carries uncertain implications for schools.

Ed-Tech's Inequalities

Ed-Tech's Inequalities | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

This talk was delivered virtually today at Western Oregon University. The slide deck is available here.


“Education is the civil rights issue of our time,” you’ll often hear politicians and education reform types say.

What are the implications for equity here if, for example, we uncritically pursue trends like the “flipped classroom” – that is, asking students to watch video lectures at home? What assumptions are we making about “home”? Can MOOCs really solve the opportunity gap if those without a college or high school degree are far less likely to have adequate let alone affordable Internet access?
