The Role of
Do we drive technology?Or is technology

We need to think not just about what technology is and how we learn in it's context; but where technologies are emerging from; and how they are

What are emerging
technologies?
Veletsianos gives 5 criteria for technologies to be considered emerging:
1.They may or may not be new2.They are "evolving organisms that
exist in a state of 'coming into being'"(Veletsianos p.13)
3.They "go through hype cycles" (Veletsianos
p.14)
4.They are not yet fully understood or fully researched
5.They are "potentially disruptive but their potential is mostly unfulfilled" (Veletsianos p.16)

humans have always done...to employ good critical thinking skills,
standards of ethics, and pliant adaptability in the face of change.
