Ben Williamson : Vacationers
No full text" Ben Williamson's upcoming exhibition, Vacationers, chronicles the travels of an unknown elderly couple who may or may not still be among us. Referencing a small selection of enigmatic photographs extracted from a collection of found documents, Williamson highlights the 'ubiquitous snapshot' as an item of nostalgia and anachronism, challenging such notions as photographic veracity, historical accuracy, and the reliability of memory.

Shaping Society, Technology and Learning Identity
Full text linkFirst paragraph: Since the 1980s the educational uses of new information and communication technologies and digital media have been expanding. Whether in the form of computers in the classroom, as ‘educational technologies' designed for explicit pedagogic purposes, or in the form of everyday new media being aligned with educational intentions, practices and activities, new technologies and media have become, it seems, almost naturalized as a common-sense feature of educational life. Schools are now seemingly built around a complex apparatus of electronic screens and surfaces, technical infrastructure, computing hardware, software and code, all hardwired to electronic communication networks
New centers of data visualization in education

Is the increased visibility made possible by visualization practices and technologies also influencing and shaping perceptions of education, and contributing to how the future of learning is envisioned and imagined
Smart schools in sentient cities
Full text linkWhat makes a city “smart?” And, in a “smart city,” what makes a “smart school?” Designers, researchers and commercial technology companies are increasingly concerned with the development of "smarter cities," "programmable cities" and "sentient cities"that are augmented with big data, sensor networks, and other computationally programmable processes and software-supported practices. The smart city is an urban environment with a computational "nervous system." It appears to have some form of awareness, intelligence, and thoughtfulness, along with some ability to learn and to transform itself. In many smart city programs, themes such as "smarter education"are emerging as important points of focus for various kinds of imaginings and product developments. It is surprising, then, that educational research has, to date, said very little about such data-intensive, spatially sentient and programmable cities. This leaves a lot of questions to be addressed. What kind of educational future are we facing in sentient cities that are already becoming automated, plastered in data and augmented with context-aware devices offering mediated sensory experiences; in which billions of objects and machines can interrelate with one another via the Internet of Things; and in which the urban environment itself is able to track, trace and even "think of us?" What does it mean for people to learn in a city that can learn
ClassDojo poses data protection concerns for parents
No full textBen Williamson and Alasdair Rutherford raise a series of concerns about the globally popular classroom management app ClassDojo. They argue that as ClassDojo has grown into a new social media site for schools, it poses a number of risks in relation to data protection and child privacy, and to how children, teachers and parents interact. Ben and Alasdair are both based in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Stirling, UK. Ben is a Lecturer in Education, and led the ESRC funded project Code Acts in Education to explore the implications of digital data technologies in education. Alasdair is a Senior Lecturer in Social Statistics
