Learning and Technology? – Lunchtime conversation about Teaching & Learning

Learning and technology? Join us for a wide-ranging discussion with Yoram Lubling, Professor of Philosophy.

Do technology and learning really go together? Philosophers including Buber, Dewey, Heidegger and Levinas have questioned whether the use of technology in everyday interactions might lead to a reduction in an individual’s power of expression, creative freedom, critical analysis, and social amelioration. Recent scholars have made similar arguments – and we’ll use two of articles that question the connection between learning and technology (“Online Literacy is a Lesser Kind” by M. Baurlein, and “Don’t Confuse Technology with College Teaching” by P. Hieronymi) as the basis for our conversation.

Lunch will be served.  Please RSVP at this link:  http://tinyurl.com/CATLFALL2012.
