Digital Platforms Aren't Mere Tools--They're Complex Environments
Garcia, Antero; Nichols, T. Philip
Phi Delta Kappan, v102 n6 p14-19 Mar 2021
Antero Garcia and T. Philip Nichols explore how classrooms and schools must reframe their conceptions of technology from a focus on tools that serve specific purposes to a focus on platforms and their ecologies. In doing so, they argue, educational stakeholders should attend to three different dimensions of how technology is integrated in schools: the social uses of digital technologies, the design decisions that were made about these products, and the material resources that help make them operate. This approach requires educators to ask complicated questions about what technology does in schools and how to teach with and about it.
