Education & innovation have a tension-filled relationship. We argue for a distinction: imposed, market-orientated innovation vs emergent, relational, educational innovation. Via ITE experience, we show how ed innovation happens through generative tension & qualitatively differs from market models
Innovation or education? Creating spaces for appearance in initial teacher education
Education and innovation have always had a tension-filled relationship, with the latter historically associated with technological and economic novelties. It is small wonder that in these late capi...

Who remembers BrainCo, the "brain-reading" startup out of Harvard that ran the creepiest marketing for its school-targeted neurotech headset about 8 years ago? It's now a major Chinese brain interface "dragon" - this is a pretty wild account of BrainCo's origins and evolution

Massive racist demonstrations in London today led to brawls and violence. ~100 arrested. Meanwhile, at peaceful Palestine Action protests with zero provocations, police arrested up to 900 demonstrators.
They are attacking the Police again, at the 'peaceful march'.
Imagine if Pro Palestine supporters did this (they never do), they would all be instantly in jail.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

📚 What should children learn in school?
Philosopher Michael Hand argues that while evidence can show us how to teach, it can not tell us what to teach. That’s a question of values — not just data.
