Dear Teachers, To take your mind of the examination pressures, from KOER this week, we have three readings ..... for the long weekend, on developing a critical perspective on ICT....
We have been reading about Facebook and Cambridge Analytica misusing our personal information to manipulate our behaviour!!! this is a great danger to democracy ... these articles discuss the cause and effects of this phenomenon ... Critical understanding of ICT -- on http://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/index.php/Digital_literacy Like any new technology, ICT too can be hyped up, and we may see it as a panacea or silver bullet that can solve all our problems in education. However, such hype/ perspective can be quite harmful and dangerous. The more powerful a tool, the more harmful it could be as well. Hence developing a critical understanding of ICT is essential, especially for teachers, who need to foster the same in students. A few readings that can support such critical understanding: 1. Five Things We Need to Know About Technological Change <http://cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/classes/188/materials/postman.pdf> (Neil Postman) 2. Filter bubble <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble>, how the search engine may be damaging us and our society. (Eli Pariser <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Pariser>) 3. Internet and capitalism <https://monthlyreview.org/2011/03/01/the-internets-unholy-marriage-to-capitalism/> (John Bellamy Foster <https://monthlyreview.org/author/johnbellamyfoster/> and Robert W. McChesney <https://monthlyreview.org/author/robertwmcchesney/>) enjoy reading ....and share your comments.... regards Guru IT for Change, Bengaluru www.ITforChange.net -- ----------- 1.ವಿಷಯ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರ ವೇದಿಕೆಗೆ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರನ್ನು ಸೇರಿಸಲು ಈ ಅರ್ಜಿಯನ್ನು ತುಂಬಿರಿ. - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevqRdFngjbDtOF8YxgeXeL8xF62rdXuLpGJIhK6qzMaJ_Dcw/viewform 2. ಇಮೇಲ್ ಕಳುಹಿಸುವಾಗ ಗಮನಿಸಬೇಕಾದ ಕೆಲವು ಮಾರ್ಗಸೂಚಿಗಳನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ನೋಡಿ. -http://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/index.php/ವಿಷಯಶಿಕ್ಷಕರವೇದಿಕೆ_ಸದಸ್ಯರ_ಇಮೇಲ್_ಮಾರ್ಗಸೂಚಿ 3. ಐ.ಸಿ.ಟಿ ಸಾಕ್ಷರತೆ ಬಗೆಗೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ರೀತಿಯ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಪುಟಕ್ಕೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಿ - http://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/index.php/Portal:ICT_Literacy 4.ನೀವು ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ ಬಳಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೀರಾ ? ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ತಿಳಿಯಲು -http://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/index.php/Public_Software ----------- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "EnglishSTF" group.
