But that one ...Yes, on first read "nice". But that one sentence should be read in the context of the larger passage that McLeod quotes.<br /><br />It turns out that the "transformative implications" that Moe and Chubb refer to include offering "new career paths" to teachers (a rather weird extension of freeing them "from their tradition-bound classroom roles"), "sophisticated data systems" (the intent here is most certainly <b>not</b> to Twitter) for making "education" more effective, and lowering the operating costs of schools by employing technology instead of teachers.<br /><br />I doubt that this blog, that consistently presents the case for the use of digital technologies within a truly humanist educational perspective, really sees those issues as representative of the desired transformation.יענקלhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904180539828579859noreply@blogger.com
