Technology
or
Teachnology?
Technology or
Teachnology that is the question…
I am interested in the differences between using technology to teach
and using technology as a tool that learners can use to teach
themselves and
teach others. Construct knowledge through a learning experience and
thought process that is affected by technology. The kinetic and
mental process
used and developed by interactions with computers, video, and other
humans.
This web page under construction is the start of another examination—looking
at the thought processes in the right side and left side of the brain.
The right, more visually oriented, the left more logical and problem solving.
Some people have stronger right thinking and others have more left hemisphere
oriented ways of thinking. Perhaps this dichotomy, which in an oversimplified
way divides people into different groups, can be used to examine the relationship/struggle
between using technology as a "logical" or "artistic" tool.
Part of the learning process is a struggle between people and machines
and learning how to talk to the machines and having the machines do
what we want them to. It’s sometimes fun and sometimes frustrating.
