Recensioner i media

"Rafranz Davis makes a significant contribution to the discussion of diversity in the edtech environment.   The questions she raises at the end of each chapter provide food for thought for those considering how to better support "less heard" voices in edtech, from students, to women, to people of color.   In a touching vignette, she delves into ways the power of edtech has failed to support students like Hector—using technology to take the most convenient out, rather than helping him find a voice and a better future.   She asks, significantly, how edtech teachers can hear the voices of students with no access.  And most importantly, she speaks up courageously, sharing her own voice and struggles to find a sense of belonging in the edtech community. Her book is both a guide for administrators and edtech leaders seeking to better support student and teacher voices and an important testimony to the power of voices willing to raise the tough questions."
