Technology

Background: this page will be a discussion on how technology is used in learning spaces, how technology is used to enact PoS, and what these engagements with technology signals about the learner and the learning they are attempting to accomplish.

Open Questions (please add your own):

1. How are we defining technology?
2. What role does technology play in making sense of open learning environments?
3. Can technology be 'just' an artifact/tool of learning? Or does its use have greater implications for learning?
4. What role does technology play in learning through intention vs. learning through serendipity?
   1. Can its use stunt learning?
5. What does the use of technology signal about the learner (intention, skill, purpose)?
