      The idea of separating the mind from the body made me think of Walt Whitman's poem "I Sing the Body Electric" where the body is sacred, linked to the soul. If we separate the mind from the body, where does it leave the soul? Do we download that too when we download our brains?

  • Social determination
  • technology is determined by the political and economic structures of society. Questions about ownership and control are key in this orientation
  • technology is shaped and takes meaning from how individuals and groups choose to use it
  • Which of these perspectives do you lean towards in your understanding of the relationship between technology and pedagogy? Can you point to instances in society or in your own context where this stance is necessary or useful?

  • technology could solve the three most pressing problems of education: access, quality and cost
  • in all parts of the world evolving technology is the main force that is changing society
  • a model technological determinist position,
  • what observations can you make about his utopian arguments about education? What currency do they continue to have in this field?
  • the orientation here is clearly dystopic
  • ‘administrators and commercial partners’ as being in favour of ‘teacherless’ digital education,
  • ‘teachers and students’ as being against it
  • these divisions have never been clear, and they certainly aren’t now.
  • Why does Noble say that technology is a ‘vehicle’ and a ‘disguise’ for the commercialization of higher education? How can we relate this early concern with commercialism to current debates about MOOCs, for example? And how are concerns about ‘automation’ and ‘redundant faculty’ still being played out today?
  • the consequences of digital education
  • What kind of determinist position do they take? To what extent are they utopic or dystopic visions of the future? Why have the ideas they represent been so readily taken up and distributed within all educational sectors?
  • metaphor of the native and the immigrant
  • Prensky warns ‘immigrant’ teachers that they face irrelevance unless they figure out how to adapt their methods and approaches to new generations of learners.
  • how does the language he uses work to persuade the reader? Who are ‘we’ and who are ‘they’? What associations do you have with the idea of the ‘native’ and the ‘immigrant’, and how helpful are these in understanding teacher-student relationships?
  • What is being left out of the story of the internet here, and from what position is this story being constructed?
  • technological determinism,
