Session Type: Symposium
Technology is omnipresent in our lives as citizens, teachers, and learners, but it is not neutral (Benjamin, 2019). In this symposium, critical educational technology scholars share how they bring a techno-skeptical approach to teacher education that centers critical evaluation and use of technology, from a justice-oriented, anti-oppressive, and human-centered lens. We share how we have used a techno-skeptical approach to better understand how technology operates in ways which promote traditional power structures. We also discuss how we prepare students and teachers to counter these harmful discourses in ways which expand our ways of knowing and acting in the world. Together, we will debate how and why technology reinforces hegemonic structures, considering ways forward for educating techno-skeptical citizens and civic educators.
