How tech took over

Audrey Watters describes how tech companies and state annual testing requirements brought tech into schools, took teachers out of the loop, and failed to deliver for kids — right under our noses.

After years of feeling like she was a lone voice in the wilderness, journalist Audrey Watters says she suddenly doesn’t feel alone in raising concerns about technology in schools (and other aspects of technology).

In this new interview, Watters describes how schools became so tech-infused even before the pandemic, why she stepped away from reporting on edtech during the pandemic, and what it’s like to be back on the story during such a tumultuous time.
