Humanities educator and doctoral researcher @Baylor interested in how digital technologies impact civic possibilities
Celeste has been engaging in digital civic inquiry with me, @philnichols.bsky.social, and Kevin Magill for several years. She is interested in the politics of digital civic life, and it is her opinion that commercial edtech has no place in schools. Drop a comment in the blog to show her support!

If you're a caregiver who may have other, less techno-optimistic views of AI/GenAI, then you may be interested in the panel "Theorizing Caregiver Resistance to EdTech" that I'm convening with @alliethrall.bsky.social at next week's Civics of Technology conference. More info at:
