En el marco de las actividades formativas organizadas por las comisiones académicas de los programas de postgrado MIPE y DIPE y en colaboración con Red Encuentros (www.redencuentros.org) el Profesor Neil Selwyn impartirá la conferencia titulada “¿Es la tecnología buena para la educación?». El Dr. Neil Selwyn es profesor de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Monash, Australia.
Resumen de la conferencia: Digital technologies are a key feature of contemporary education. Schools, colleges and universities operate along high-tech lines, while alternate forms of online education have emerged to challenge the dominance of traditional institutions. According to many experts, the rapid digitization of education over the past ten years has undoubtedly been a ‘good thing’.
In this conference (based from the book: Is Technology Good For Education?) Dr. Selwyn will offer a critical counterpoint to this received wisdom, challenging some of the central ways in which digital technology is presumed to be positively affecting education. Instead Dr. Selwyn considers what is being lost as digital technologies become ever more integral to education provision and engagement. Crucially, he questions the values, agendas and interests that stand to gain most from the rise of digital education.
This concise, up-to-the-minute analysis concludes by considering alternate approaches that might be capable of rescuing and perhaps revitalizing the ideals of public education, while not denying the possibilities of digital technology altogether.
