Researchers seek a better understanding of technology's effects on reading, learning
I was struck by this article because of its perspective. Being entrenched in educational theory and eLearning, I don't often consider the very real possibility that our ubiquitous digital immersion is not simply changing how we behave and relate - it is altering the physical reality of our gray matter. I recognize the need for new theories of learning, like connectivism, but do neurosurgeons need to start questioning their knowledge as well?
If so, is it just another stage of our evolution? Should we plow ahead as usual, or should we pause to consider the ramifications of that "rewiring?" Internet usage moderation?
