Critical posthumanast view
Reading through the Bayne paper “What’s the matter with ‘technology-enhanced learning’?, I came upon an interesting critical posthumanist view of the relationship between technology and education, one which I certainly agree with and try to advocate within my own practice; A critical posthumanist position on technology and education would see the human neither as dominating technology nor as being dominated by… Read more →

Having libraries of videos and images from our past allows us to relive that moment, very… Read more →
