Description:
The surprising history of education technology and its political, financial, and social impact on higher education and our world
From AI tutors who ensure individualized instruction but cannot do math to free online courses from elite universities that were supposed to democratize higher education, claims that technological innovations will transform education often fall short. Yet, as Anne Trumbore shows in The Teacher in the Machine, the promises of today's cutting-edge technologies aren't new. Long before the excitement about the disruptive potential of generative AIpowered tutors and massive open online courses, scholars at Stanford, MIT, and the University of Illinois in the 1960s and 1970s were encouraged by the US government to experiment with computers and artificial intelligence in education. Trumbore argues that the contrast between these two eras of educational technology reveals the changing role of higher education in the United States as it shifted from a public good to a private investment.
Writing from a unique insider's perspective and drawing on interviews with key figures, historical research, and case studies, Trumbore traces today's disparate discussions about generative AI, student loan debt, and declining social trust in higher education back to their common origins at a handful of elite universities fifty years ago. Arguing that those early educational experiments have resonance today, Trumbore points the way to a more equitable and collaborative pedagogical future. Her account offers a critical lens on the history of technology in education just as universities and students seek

They work as they should
But they wouldn't work for what I needed. I purchased these but the Steam Deck to take stress off the top USB C port when charging, but they're a bit too small to fit. I can find other uses for them. They feel really well abs built to last. Cables and ports seem very secure when connected.

Perfect fit
I use them for my moto g stylo 2023 and my Samsung s8 ultra tab. These fit well even with a case on them.

Nice to Have 90° Angle USB-C Adapters
The Herfair 180 Degree USB C Adapter is compact, simple to use, and fits snugly inside the USB C ports I've plugged it into. I got it to use with my Steam Deck, since the charging port comes out of the top of the device, and holding it with the cord sticking out of the top creates unneeded pressure. Something like the Nintendo Switch has the port coming out of the bottom, but then you can't comfortably rest the device in your lap. The benefit of using this adapter is that I'm now getting the best of both worlds. It extends just enough to let the cord freely travel down the back of the Deck, but it's compact enough that I can set the Deck down on a flat surface and the adapter doesn't touch the desk or tabletop. Even better, it fits right alongside the exhaust fan attachment that I use to keep the Deck cool.
All in all, this adapter did exactly what I was hoping it would and fits so well that I can pretty much forget it's there unless I'm putting the Deck in its carrying case. I'm really glad to have this!

Does exactly what you need it for.
I like these adapters.
Some pros:
* There's a blue light to show that power is coming to the adapter (great to ensure you've plugged it in correctly)
* The gap at the bottom of the plug ensures that it works with a phone in a case. (I tested it on an iPhone 15 pro max)
* The connectors are solid good click when connected.
* The housing is solid aluminum (no flex or seams, etc)
* There is a little label on each that shows how much power or data can go through it.
Use case:
* Allowing you to use your phone on your bed while the phone is sitting on your chest (and still plugged in)
* For the USB-C to female USB-A female adapter, the page shows that you can use this to connect a flash drive or a regular USB-A cable with the other end going to your peripheral (like a keyboard or game controller)
Overall, this is a great item to own in your gadget bag.
