Abstract
Tracking is a system in which students are grouped together based on ability. This system has historically contributed to reproducing a racialized class hierarchy under the guise of merit and talent. While traditional forms of tracking have declined new educational technologies have revived the practice. With promises to predict future progress, and optimize learning, many districts and administrators are looking to these new educational technologies to change the dynamics of teaching. New educational technologies such as Learning Analytics and Biometrics promise innovation and security but instead create a new high-tech tracking system. With the implementation of these new technologies, dominant ideologies that express the economic and political interests of dominant classes and cultural groups are being produced in education under a guise of disinterested objectivity and neutrality. This project analyzes the new techno-tracking and explores venues for resistance and egalitarian possibilities for the uses of educational technology.
