Abstract With this special section, we hope to draw attention to educational technology designed for expanding human capability, that is, educational technology for accelerating and enabling our range of knowledge and agency. The four contributions to our special issue include the development of a location‐based history teaching app, a STEM inquiry platform, using Knowledge Forum for teaching self‐reflective practice to pre‐service teachers using as well as a review of computer‐supported collaborative learning. These special section articles show the promise of constructivist educational technology for expanding horizons.
