24. Writing as Technology 教育方面限制在計算機硬體、應用和兼容設備 Teachers need much more than hardware and software to build those opportunities into their daily teaching. If teachers are to make technology a dynamic part of their daily work, they need time, resources, training, and most of all, encouragement and support. 先了解新技術可能會改變人類的經驗,之後開始審查任何識字文化書面本身的基本信息和通信技術基礎。
25. 課程架構 4 個單元 Module 1 : define key terms–text and technology–and set out some of the questions that will guide our subsequent investigations, introduce the ETEC 540 Community Web Module 2 : we will consider how the invention of writing may have modified human thought processes, and what effects particular developments in technologies.
26. Module 3 : examine technologies for writing before the invention of the computer; consider how these technologies modified reading and writing practices, as well as literacy instruction Module 4 : focus to the consideration of computer-based technologies for writing; examine what some have called "non-linear" or "multi-directional" forms such as hypertext or hypermedia
27. 教學目標 1.Students will consider how the invention of writing, the fundamental technology of all literate societies, has modified human ways of knowing. 2.Students will develop an understanding of how technologies for writing have changed through the course of history, and of how such changes have affected writing styles and genres. 3.Students will explore how cognitive and affective response to text might be influenced by different mediums (e.g., print versus hypertext)
28. 4.Students will consider how technologies for writing facilitate or hamper access to knowledge. 5.Students will consider how the "information explosion," caused by the development of increasingly efficient vehicles for the transmission of text, has modified human understandings of what it means to be educated.
