Manchester/Salford Critical Ed Tech Network Event, February 19th 12pm-2pm

Dear colleagues,

I hope this finds you well. I’m reaching out to invite you to an informal lunchtime gathering where we can share our thoughts and concerns about educational technology and its impacts.

This is part of an exciting international initiative happening that week, with similar discussions taking place in cities around the world: https://criticaledtech.com/2024/07/26/cset-2025-critical-studies-of-education-and-technology-an-invitation-to-connect/ [criticaledtech.com]

We’ll be hosting Manchester’s contribution:

Date: Wednesday, February 19th, 2025 Time: 12:00 – 14:00 Venue: Humanities Bridgeford Street Building, University of Manchester

The format is deliberately informal – we’re inviting colleagues to give brief 5-minute contributions on any of these themes:

  • What concerns you about EdTech in our current context?
  • What social harms are you observing?
  • How do you see the political economy of EdTech playing out locally?
  • Where do you see hope for positive change?

No slides needed – just come ready to share your thoughts and meet others interested in these issues. This is very much about building connections across Manchester and Salford institutions and finding potential collaborators.

Your insights will contribute to an international open-access report, and there’s potential for involvement in a UK-wide meeting planned for June in Oxford/London.

If you’d like to contribute a 5-minute talk, just let me know which theme you’d like to address. You’re also very welcome to come and join the discussion even if you don’t want to speak. Lunch will be provided. 

Please get in touch by January 31st to confirm your talk or just register to attend on the day.

Look forward to seeing some of you in February.

Critical Studies of EDUCATION & TECHNOLOGY · CSET 2025 – Critical studies of education and technology: an invitation to connect17th February to 21st February 2025 Researchers from around the world are invited to organise and run local academic meetings around the common theme: ‘Problematising education and digital technolo…

In this episode, we explore the innovative Sustainable EdTech Design unit offered within the MA in Digital Technologies, Communication and Education (MA DTCE) at the University of Manchester. Programme Director Mark Carrigan sits down with Susan Brown, Programme Director of the MA in Education for a Sustainable Environment, and Mandy Banks Gatenby, Lecturer on the MA DTCE, to discuss their groundbreaking approach to integrating sustainability perspectives into the design and development of educational technologies.

Susan and Mandy share insights into the unique structure of the unit, which brings together their diverse expertise to foster a dialogue between the often-conflicting worlds of agile technology development and sustainability education. They highlight the importance of creating a space for students to grapple with uncertainty, challenge assumptions, and develop the critical thinking skills needed to create educational technologies that prioritize both human and environmental well-being.

Throughout the conversation, Susan and Mandy emphasize the transformative potential of this unit, which equips students with the mindset and practical skills to become leaders in the field of sustainable edtech design. They also discuss the wider implications of this approach, arguing for the need to embed sustainability considerations across all aspects of digital education.
Whether you’re an educator, learning technologist, or simply passionate about the future of education and sustainability, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the cutting-edge of sustainable edtech design and the innovative teaching practices that are shaping the next generation of educational leaders.

Hello!

I am a data scientist at Hrvatski Telekom (#croatia #telecom). Previously I worked as an academic researcher (#academia #research #science) in #InteractiveTechnology , with emphasis in #DataScience, #MachineLearning, and technology for education (#TEL #EducationalTechnology). I'm a #Python programmer but I also speak #R (#RStats).

I'm new here, hoping to engage with the Mastodon community in those and other topics :)
