Tech Tonic: Towards a New Literacy of Technology - 0 views

  •  
    Something of a follow-up to the Fool's Gold publication, this document more specifically addresses the idea of "technology literacy". It takes a broader view of tech literacy, encouraging the reader to see it as a social thing, not just the ability to use different kinds of software. It contains a good critique of ISTE. Should be mandatory reading for any tech in education program.
