Education Networks is a critical analysis of the emerging
intersection among the global power elite, information and
communication technology, and schools. Joel Spring documents and
examines the economic and political interests and forces -including
elite networks, the for-profit education industry, data managers,
and professional educators - that are pushing the use of ICT for
online instruction, test preparation and tutoring, data management,
instructional software packages, and more , and looks closely at
the impact this is having on schools, students, and learning.
Making a distinction between "mind" (as socially constructed) and
"brain" (as a physiological entity), Spring draws on recent
findings from comparative psychology on the possible effects of ICT
on the social construction of the minds of students and school
managers, and from neuroscience regarding its effect on students'
brains. Throughout, the influence of elite networks and powerful
interest groups is linked to what is happening to children in
classrooms. In conclusion Spring offers bold suggestions to change
the course of the looming technological triumph of ICT in the
"brave new world" of schooling.
