We are so thankful for the community that we have continued to build and learn from in the past year. We hope 2024 brings more great book clubs, tech talks, and our annual conference. With that in mind, we wanted to share our top 10 most visited pages of 2023. This includes blog posts and curriculum pages, but not general landing pages. We did not exclude this list to content created in 2023 so we’re sharing what resonated with people in this last year… and we start with our 2022 conference page, which is still generating interest! Here’s the full list:
2022 Conference Page created by the Civics of Tech team
Mapping the Media Education Terrain Page created by Marie Heath, Dan Krutka, & Cathryn van Kessel
Applying the Baldwin Test to Ed-Tech blog post by Charles Logan
EdTech Audit Page created by the Civics of Tech team
Critical Digital Citizenship Page created from the work of Charles W. Logan, Amy Chapman, Dan Krutka, and Swati Mehta with influence from the YPRPT work of Dr. Sepehr Vakil
Maybe Don't Send That Email blog post by Dan Krutka

Technoethical Integration Page created by the Civics of Tech team
The Silver Bullet of Anti-Shooter Educational Technologies blog post by Marie Heath and Aman Yadav
Whose interests do teaching machines serve? blog post by Charles Logan
This list offers two lessons. First, it’s interesting that a lot of our most popular content is not new, which can fly in the face of our internet culture that can call for new content constantly. People like well developed ideas. Second, the people clearly want more blog posts from Charles Logan.
Thank you for being part of our community in 2023. We hope your new years resolution is to even be more involved in 2024 so we can help move technology education toward more just and humane futures. Happy new year from the Civics of Technology team!
