Ed, Tech and Society: Unit 1

Submitted by aamer on Thu, 09/19/2013 - 9:15am

I felt like this unit was a good introduction and laid down the foundation for the class: defining the terms and posing the big questions to contemplate over the course of the semester. It has encouraged me personally to engage with and explore technology that I have been reluctant to experiment with in the past, including prezi and instagram, and I am excited to continue to learn. We have also established initial contact with our pen pals in Ghana and while we are uncertain about the development of that relationship at this point, I am excited about the possibilities. The prospect of an undeveloped structure to this part of the course is exciting but at the same time, a bit anxiety provoking, and so I hope we can help future participants by laying down some sort of structure for them.

This paper takes on the idea of boundaries in education, and why they should be viewed as fences rather than walls.

This essay focuses on the concept of ignorance and how one can overcome it by being aware of other people's different points of view than one's very own.

A great paper on adding a cultural perspective in the traditional education system in order to make the curriculum interesting to students.
