LINKEDIN SERIES
Dear EdTech Companies
A single post with nearly 30,000 impressions kicked off a 12-part series that changed the conversation between educators and EdTech.
A 12-post series critiquing EdTech from a practitioner's perspective. Covering co-design failures, AI-washing, data privacy, infrastructure inequity, and more. Each post names the problem, grounds it in real experience, and asks the industry to do better.
Dear EdTech Companies: Please Stop Building Solutions in Search of Problems
The post that started the series. Teachers need you to take the bureaucratic work off their plates so they can teach.
Dear EdTech Companies: Please Build for the Ecosystem, Not the Pitch Deck
Human variability is not an edge case. It is the entire job. Build for the reality of a school day.
Dear EdTech Companies: Stop AI-Washing Your Products
If you cannot explain what your AI actually does, you are not making my job easier. You are adding risk I have to manage.
Dear EdTech Companies: Stop Ignoring Infrastructure Inequity
If your tool only works for well-resourced schools, it is not an education tool. It is a privilege amplifier.
NEW SERIES
Dear EdTech Investors
If the money shapes the product, the money needs to hear from schools too. A new series asking the people funding EdTech the same hard questions.
Dear EdTech Investors: You Can Serve Public Good and Make Money
The post that launched the new series. If you are willing to listen, a principal has suggestions from the other side of the table.
Dear EdTech Investors: Ask About the Other 95 Percent
Only 5% of students use EdTech tools as recommended. Funding products that work for the other 95% is good for students and good for business.
