"We’re Regressing Into The Unknown" - Dr Jared Cooney Horvath
"I was working at a district in Kansas recently where the district gave everyone laptops. Put a program on that timed how long the laptop was used for what purposes, sent that data back to the district, and they put a marker that said you have to use this 20 minutes in your class every day, otherwise you will lose your job."
Horvath exposed a Kansas school district that installed surveillance software tracking teacher laptop usage and mandated 20 minutes of daily classroom tech use under threat of termination. This reveals how districts enforce edtech adoption despite teacher opposition and lack of evidence it improves learning outcomes.
