商品簡介
Laura (education, U. of Newcastle, Australia), Marchant (K-6 teacher, Hunter Region, Australia) and Smith (education, U. of New England, Australia) use a sociological perspective to examine how modern societies personalize technologies such as computers while "depersonalizing others and ourselves." Written for students and scholars of education, this volume focuses on the effect of technology-mediated communications in both the world and in school environments, noting increases in feelings of isolation, depression and uncivil behavior. The authors make recommendations for reshaping knowledge acquisition in a connected, expressive and empathetic manner, especially in school curriculum.
