Much of the responsibility for teaching the younger generations about digital citizenship falls onto educators. How can we insure that our future does not look like that which is in _World of Tomorrow_ ? image_header 2016-04-24T16:47:14-07:00

  Education and technology do not exist in isolation from one another. There are cellphones in classrooms, computers are given to students by the district, and educators are expected to integrate technology into their lessons. It is more important than ever to know more about technology, and to not just know how to use technology, but how to use it responsibly and ethically. Junko Yamamoto and Simeon Ananou frame human nature in four dimensions: cognitive, social interaction, emotional, and ethical. Their main argument is that these four dimensions are “molded to some extent by interaction with our environment, particularly through the use of technology.” The authors suggest that the way we use technology needs to be in a way that all of these dimensions are supported, not disturbed, by digital services. The four dimensions are connected, inseparable, and each a part of the dynamic human experience. It is more useful to examine each of the dimensions on its own, which is why each one has a page in this section dedicated to the discussion of the implications, framework, and teaching in a way that infuses humanity into technology.

  This section will explore each of the dimensions given by Yamamoto and Anaou more in depth, using The World of Tomorrow as evidence for why we need to pay particular attention to these aspects of education and the future. The pages will make the argument that education is the main place in which we should teach citizens to be responsible with technology in relation to the cognitive, emotional, social, and ethical dimensions.

  The visualization of major technological inventions used in classrooms is helpful to see the moment that we are in currently: a proliferation of technology is being created every day. I have created this timeline to show a few of the many inventions that reshaped the way that teachers taught in the classroom.

  Additionally, seeing a timeline of the evolution of major technologies used in classrooms can be helpful, and for that I have created a timeline that outlines just a few of many inventions that reshaped the way teachers taught.
