I looked at the new issue of IRRODL over the weekend and found this item to recommend, a slide and audio presentation from Norm Friesen (I wonder whether Terry Anderson will let me publish in IRRODL that way). Friesen advances his now-familiar argument against technological determinism and the inevitability of progress, framing this discussion within Habermas's three types of knowledge: technical, practical and emancipatory. Educators will seize upon the link between Habermas and Paulo Friere, while technologists will reflect on the social impact of technology.
