Ecology of Educational Technology
ECO SOUL
Our goal this week is to emphasize some quality reflection in each of us. The ecological metaphor as a framework for understanding educational technology gives us a chance to think about how ET fits within our educational contexts, while the discussion of educational technology and its role in the environment and our communities within and outside of education perhaps deserves some pause and reflection.
The Plan
During the week everyone is asked to participate in the activity “Give up a technology for a day” and one other discussion question. Also please respond to at least one post made by a classmate. You will find all activities and discussion questions on the discussion / activity page of the wordpress. Good luck and enjoy!
