Ed-Tech Retro-Futurism and Learning Engineering by Matt CrosslinMatt Crosslin

I don’t know what I am allowed to say about this yet, but recently I was recorded on an awesome podcast by someone that I a big fan of their work. One of the questions he asked was what I meant on my website when I say “Ed-Tech Retro-Futurist.” It is basically a term I made up a few years ago (and then never checked to see if someone else already said it) in response to the work of people like Harriet Watkins and Audrey Watters that try to point out how too many people are ignoring the decades of work and research in the educational world. My thought was that I should just skip Ed-Tech Futurism and go straight to Retro-Futurism, pointing out all of the ideas and research from the past that everyone is ignoring in the rush to look current and cool in education.

Learning -agogies by Matt CrosslinMatt Crosslin
Ever wonder how many -gogies there are out there beyond pedagogy and andragogy? While a list like this may seem as repetitive, exhausting, or unnecessary to some , it is also an interesting study into how education is not a simple or black-and-white endeavor. Every one of these theories were created by people that thought the others that already existed were not accurately describing what they thought education was or should be. Therefore this list gets at the root of why Ed Tech solutionism is so problematic: people are unique, different, and ever-changing. We can’t have one idea or solution that works for all people at all times. We need to look at education as an individualized process of ever-changing sociocultural implications, not a standardized set of common core skills to master in clone-like fashion.
