Q1. Can you share any feelings/experiences you've had similar to the article regarding the frustration of being excluded? #Kinderchat

As early childhood, I've felt it, but not bc of my skin but bc I'm not aggressively EDTECH vs more balanced #kinderchat

When we started out, was like everyone was learning this thing together, then some went to moon, others kept on in classroom #kinderchat

akayb21 Apr 10 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I have never focused on skin color, but I have noticed a difference when comparing early care, primary, and secondary in edtech #Kinderchat

aulundria Apr 10 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I am not sure who the recognized EdTech leaders are; however, I am inclined to research additional information. #Kinderchat

And furthermore, who decided that the few (who are mostly men and white) should speak for the many actually in the classrooms? #kinderchat
