Futures of Learning

  • In brief, my argument is that the technological imagination needs to be actively cultivated.  Too often, we leave the tending of this imagination to serendipity or superstition.  We believe, erroneously I argue, that simply by providing access to technology (computers, mobile devices, games) young people will develop a robust technological imagination.  And yet, as I elaborate elsewhere (Balsamo, forthcoming), a cultivated technological imagination requires more than just understanding how to use technology.  It requires an appreciation for historical precedents and an ethical investment in the creation of our futures.
