ETEC522: Ventures in Learning Technology
MET Course Weblog

Dumbed down

by Joe Dobson

My copy of last week’s Macleans arrived today, and it has an interesting article with a lot of relevance to the MET program and this course. The article “Dumbed Down: The troubling science of how technology is rewiring kids’ brains” can be found online at:

In essence it discusses the pros and cons of overexposure to technology – in and out of the classroom – on childrens’ brains.
