"Schools are slowly becoming extremely reliant on a few large companies' entire technological stacks in order to operate. In turn, these stacks are reshaping what schooling is and could be, and exercising unaccountable control over students," writes Michael Veale. However, resisting them is not straightforward, as schools are challenged to maintain these technologies on their own. "Schools, teachers and administrators can also find themselves tied into a single platform's ecosystem. This may be because technologies are sold as a bundle." Image: Steven Singer.
