Creating or responding to the world?
I am at a Becta regional event on Personalised Learning, and an interesting position has just been stated.
"We have to prepare children for the technological world in which we live"
It just made me think ... if the focus of education is on preparation, are we not in doing so creating a world that cannot function without technology? To quote Merton, a sociologist, we could be in danger of generating a self-fulfilling propecy?
