Teaching machines – a product of their time

[philtubman]

“we could argue that all technology conforms to the paradigm of the time, otherwise it wouldn’t be adopted or become accepted”

I think this is a very profound comment. We need to change the way society thinks about itself before we can change the way it educates itself basically. If we want a more open (source)  education system, we need to open our society and way of thinking of each other at the same time.

wow!

(you made me think…)

I agree with you Duncan. It actually is the main reason why I wanted to point out the similarities between TM’s and, for example iPads. But where behaviourism is seen as ‘bad’ and outdated, history repeats itself with an uncritical adoption of (one) machine(s) and commercialization.
