  1. EDC&I 5855/4/11 What’d We Talk About Last Week? Organizing Our Discussions for This Week Setting the Stage for Next Week

  2. Last Week We Said… • Cuban: • Tech progress depends on context; the Luddites and the over-eager • Will future drive to adopt come from students? • What forces push for learning (not just hardware)? • Cf. to 2001: pervasive computing & social networking • Pace of tech development = faster than ed’s uptake • How do new teachers learn to use it effectively if they don’t see it used? Will parents demand use?

  3. And that Lanier guy… • Lanier: • Maybe the noosphere is not necessarily worse than earlier ways of shaping, controlling, directing information • Maybe the trends identified are in fact rehumanizing, not dehumanizing

  4. Questions Lanier (pt. 2) • Retropolis in education: Education has both conserving and revolutionary functions; are current technology uses supporting one of these more than the other? • Flatness: What are the educational parallels to “flatness”? • Bachelardianneoteny: Do current models for ed tech promote the approach that Lanier favors?

  5. Misc Misc • Project check-in – Everything going OK? If not, shout out! • “TBA” Readings for 5/25: Suggestions? Directions?

  6. For next week… • Kelley: • How and when should be anthropomorphize stuff that’s not human? • Do current technologies represent radical departures from or only improvements on prior technologies? Does the pattern hold for education? • What determines whether an educational innovation “gets to market?”
