Building from a decade and a half of school-based ethnographic research, Antero Garcia’s research takes a student-centered approach to understanding the tensions and possibilities of educational technologies. In this presentation, Garcia offers a linked exploration at the enduring policy-based decision making of three different forms of educational technology: school buses, cell phones, and generative AI. By looking at the overlooked, enduring, and emerging questions of ed-tech policy through these examples, Garcia suggests that student expertise and civic interests are often discarded in contemporary ed tech decision policy making.
