- About technology and reform..... I suggest that you look at what problem you
- want to address.... what do you want to change? Do you want to deal with
- pedagogy, economics (larger class sizes), more productive use of visual
- and audio data bases, or just a "new" format for presentations (i.e. electronic
- overheads). I think of change in terms of social and political benefit..
- what is gained and what is lost! Who will benefit from it?, etc....
-
- Also, how will the form begin to effect the content! What notions of
- knowing are you dealing with?, etc.....
-
- I think you question is a good one and many have looked at change from
- different angles. You may want to read "The Myth of Educational Reform"
- by Thomas Popkewitz, etc., also "Curriculum and Ideology" by Mike Apple.
