      About the Author

      Audrey Watters is a writer who focuses on education technology—the relationship between politics, pedagogy, business, culture, and ed-tech. Although she was two chapters into her PhD dissertation, she decided to abandon academia, and she now happily fulfills the one job recommended to her by a junior high aptitude test—freelance writer.

      Audrey has written for The Atlantic, Edutopia, MindShift, Inside Higher Ed, The School Library Journal, The Huffington Post, and elsewhere online and in print. Her work can be found on her website hackeducation.com. She is also the author of The Monsters of Education Technology, a collection of public talks and keynotes that she has delivered.

      A self-described serial dropout, Audrey did not complete her bachelor’s degree at The Johns Hopkins University, nor did she complete her PhD at the University of Oregon. She regularly signs up for massive open online courses (MOOCs) that she does not complete. She does, however, hold a master’s degree in folklore from the University of Oregon.

The titles reflected that and included books such as The Underachieving School, Compulsory Mis-Education and the Community of Scholars, Teaching as a Subversive Activity, Deschooling Society, and School Is Dead, to name a few. Obviously, the messages of these books were not subtle.

      Progressive by nature, the authors generally saw their schools as unequal,
