At EdTech Hub, we’ve been reflecting on how coloniality is embedded in the work we do: from the colonial roots of the international development sector, to colonial practices embedded in research methods, to “core-to-periphery” design and deployment of EdTech interventions. We’ve just begun this journey, but in trying to embody one of our EdTech Hub values of ‘fearless and humble learning,’ we wanted to think out loud with you. This is the first of a three-part, long-form series exploring what it means to strive toward ‘Decolonising EdTech’.
While EdTech can be useful to improving learning, it can also reproduce power imbalances and promote hegemonic norms, values, languages, cultures and beliefs if it is not designed appropriately. Help us build a list of resources on Decolonising EdTech! Comment with suggestions.
