EDUC 628-Spring-08

In this chapter, Stoll presents computers and technology as something not good for education.  He asserts that with technology that content learning will not happen, or he is just totally against it.  On page 40 he says

” The technical needs of the computer of the computer create a new bureaucratic bumpf of technicians, computer coordinators, and information specialists.  These people tend not to teach, but to fix machines, buff the school’s high-tech image, and promote high-tech pedagogy.”

I think this may be true in some cases now, but probably was more so true when he wrote this book.  I think that technology education can be implemented into a curriculum, while still maintaining learning the content, and that the field of education technology nowadays strives to do so more often than in 2000.
