Learning in Tech Ecologies: Coming Clean About the Ecological Consequences of "Educational Innovation"

Sat, April 18, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Working Group Roundtable

Abstract

This working group roundtable brings together learning scientists concerned with the field’s emphasis on technological innovation without also considering the deleterious consequences digital tools have on the ecosystem. The authors provide various perspectives on the value tensions at play in our research methods and design studies when we emphasize Learning in Tech Ecologies (LITE). Our conceptual presentations rely on empirical work and recent conversations around nature-culture relations and equity and justice situated within this era of climate change. Authors’ provocations will spark discussions and momentum toward stating our field’s ethical commitments to all components of the “ecology” within the teaching and learning configurations in which we participate and study.
