Die Lüge der digitalen Bildung

The panic continues: Politicians and industry are unanimously demanding that students be inundated with various technologies to ensure they do not miss out on the digital age. However, this digitization of education is driven almost solely by technology and economics. Educational concepts? Nonexistent! The authors not only criticize this form of digitization, but in this new edition, they also specifically target the economic entanglements between the IT industry and education policy. They challenge central myths of digital advocates and expose the efforts for a learning factory 4.0, where computers are gradually supposed to replace teachers. The authors particularly thank the FDP for their inspiring campaign slogan "Digital first. Concerns second" and demonstrate that the exact opposite is true.
