This semester in ET690 Educational Technology Seminar at Loyola College, two grdauate students will be blogging about the readings, which include three books by authors who are critical of technology in the classroom. I invite everyone to respond to their blog entries with civil and respectful posts in an attempt to promote a dialogue about appropriate and inappropriate uses of technology in the classroom. The three books that we are reading this semester are:
Postman, Neil. (1995). The end of education: Redefining the value of school. New York: Alfred A. Knopf.
Oppenheimer, Todd. (2004). The flickering mind: Saving education from the false promise of technology. New York: Random House Trade Paperbacks.
Roszak, Theodore. (1994). The cult of information: A neo-luddite treatise on high-tech, artificial intelligence, and the true art of thinking, 2nd Ed. New York: Pantheon.
I hope that this blog will help to launch a broad discussion on the issues discussed in these books.
