Ed Futures (eBook, ePUB)

A Collection of Short Stories on the Future of Education

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Throughout history, we have been trying to grasp, celebrate, and even reject advances in technology. Numerous science fiction films and literary works have paid homage to the possible futures looming. However, such futures and technologies present interesting situations for us in education. The community of educators, policymakers and technologists are worried by thoughts of children interacting with intelligent robots instead of teachers, and facing permanent unemployment because of automation. However, the future cannot be reduced to this fear and Ed Futures is an attempt to speculate worlds where education and technology are brought to life by very human connections. These worlds break into parts of society where we least expect it, and aims to open this important conversation on the impact of new technologies on education to a larger audience through storytelling. By speculating various futures in each story and making bare the politics of a changing world, our hope is to create a starting point for anyone and everyone to engage in creating a responsible future of learning. What is your learning future?
