How can affected communities have a powerful voice in shaping the adoption of data-driven technology in schools?
We brought together 17 participants for two online workshop sessions in January 2024 to explore:
- the growing use of data-driven educational technologies (EdTech) in UK schools;
- challenges around who has, and who does not, have a say in EdTech adoption;
- possible approaches to give affected communities a more powerful voice in EdTech decision making.
Participants included teachers and school counselors, teaching union representatives, and education researchers. Sessions were designed with support from Defend Digital Me.
