[Themaintainers] edtech and maintenance: request for readings

[Lee Vinsel]

Thanks, Tom.

I would suggest checking out Christo Sim's Disruptive Fixation: School
Reform and the Pitfalls of Techno-Idealism
<https://books.google.com/books?id=LA9pDQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=christo+sims&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiQzLv18crgAhXFtlkKHSsXCj8Q6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&q=christo%20sims&f=false>.
Morgan Ames also has a forthcoming book - and many published essays - that
address these issues. Her book is to be titled _The Charisma Machine: The
Life, Death, and Legacy of One Laptop Per Child_.

I'm sure others will have further suggestions.
