CRUZ JUNIOR, Gilson. POLITICIZING THE DIGITAL: CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CRITIQUE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY. e-Curriculum [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.3, pp.1509-1530.  Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 1809-3876.  https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2020v18i3p1509-1530.

This essay aims to discuss the link between education and technologies, providing elements for a critique of digital education, based on the dialogue with Neil Selwyn’s ideas. As a result, it points out that the core of the aforementioned debate is riddled with explanatory and interpretive vices that, in general, derive from technological determinism. Finally, it describes the principles and objectives of digital sociology, reflecting on its analytical potential in relation to the problems involving school/educational appropriations of information and communication technologies.

Keywords : Education; Digital technologies; Educational technologies; Digital sociology; Neil Selwyn.
