The purpose of this website is to provide educators with a space to pause and reflect on EdTech companies and their adjoining Teacher Ambassador programs. It is a resources to help us all think more critically about the relationship between EdTech companies, schools, our students, and ourselves.
This website is a space for all of us to ask the question:
"Does this humanize or dehumanize education?"
(Roxana Marachi, 2023 Civics of Technology Conference)
So how does it work?
When you're ready you'll press the "Let's get started!" button, which will transport you into the Ambassador Audit which is broken into two sections: Technoethical Audit and Program Audit.
Each section consists of prompts to help you think critically about the EdTech product, the EdTech company, your role as an ambassador, and the relationship between you, the company, and your school. You will find a "yes" or "no" question at the end of each Audit that prompts you to move to the page.
When your Audit is completed you will find resources and actionable steps to support you in your journey moving forward. You can also visit the "resources" and "background" page for further information on this website and Teacher Ambassador Programs.
