I would not have bought the text book for
this course because it's an elective. I
would have possibly walked away with a
C, now I might actually get an A-
It is easily accessible and convenient.
Material is easy to understand and follow
I personally really like the convenience of having the
complete set of chapters on my computer and even
accessible from my phone if I need it. I like that I don't
have to lug around another text book
It's free and it's a great money saver

…it turns them into ‘containers’ to be ‘filled’ by the teacher. The more
completely she fills the receptacles, the better a teacher she is. The more
meekly the receptacles permit themselves to be filled, the better students
they are.
Education thus becomes the act of depositing, in which the students are
the depositories and the teacher is the depositor.
In the banking concept of education, knowledge is a gift bestowed by
those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they
consider to know nothing.

Critical pedagogy asserts that students can
engage their own learning from a position of
agency . . .
[It] takes seriously the educational imperative
to encourage students to act on the
knowledge, values, and social relations they
acquire by being responsive to the deepest
and most important problems of our times.

answer questions when
they can write them?

There is no such thing as harmless collection of data.
Or benevolent collection of data. Much of what we collect
could be used in ways we do not want it to be used, to harm
or imperil our students.
This disproportionately affects our most vulnerable students.
Low-income students, students of color, LGTBQ+ students,
students who are immigrants…their data are most at risk to
surveillance, discrimination. And many of our vulnerable
students are less likely to have experience with digital literacy
skills.
Amy Collier, 2017, Platforms in Education: A Need for Criticality and Hope
Expanding the public good and
promoting democratic social change
are at the very heart of critical education
and the precondition for global justice.
