September 11, 2025 · 24 min

Show notes

Why does education keep falling for techno-solutionism, despite the fact that technology does not seem to drastically improve education?

Ezechiel Thibaud (The Education University of Hong Kong) guides us through the underpinning causes of techno-solutionism in education and stresses the need to better acknowledge the disappointments of digital education.
