THREAD: Hearing @mweller's #OLCInnovate keynote...I expect there will be more to say as he talks about why the history of #EdTech matters (even more) now 1/

2/ #OLCInnovate @mweller is hearkening to his book, 25 years of #EdTech https://www.aupress.ca/books/120290-25-years-of-ed-tech/

3/ #OLCInnovate you can join the #AnnotatED conversation on @mweller's "25 Years of #EdTech" book here: https://hyp.is/go?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocdrop.org%2Fstatic%2Fdrop-pdf%2F120290_99Z_Weller_2020-25_Years_of_Ed_Tech-VRH6l.pdf&group=__world__

4/ #OLCInnovate @mweller talks about three phases of #EdTech: starting with the "optimistic phase". Remember when we thought the web would democratize everything?

5/ #OLCInnovate @mweller calls the 2nd phase of #EdTech "the mainstream phase", when basic infrastructure starts to build up and attach to the "optimistic" capabilities of phase 1.

6/ #OLCInnovate and of course, @mweller's 3rd #EdTech phase is the "pessimistic phase". Key question: Why did the #MOOC get so much more hype than #OER?
