Please take some time to think about the following questions and post your thoughts on the forum in Vista.
1. What is the role of educational technology in realizing a “Partnership Ethic” as described by Carolyn Merchant?
2. Bonnie Nardi says she is using the “Ecology Metaphor” for stimulating discussions about our power to make decisions around the use of our technologies. Do you think this model can help and clarify the discussion? Why or why not?
3. What are some strengths and weaknesses of using an ecological model to describe technology use as in the Zhao and Frank article? Does this model accurately describe technology integration in your situation? How well does the framework describe more recent examples of technological integration, like the integration of smart devices like smartphones and tablets?
