Title
The 'Meaning' of Technology
Abstract
This chapter explores the relationship between technology and human meaning making. We begin by challenging the common assumption that technology is a threat to human meaning and move on to explore why collaborations with technology can lead to a greater sense of meaning for learners. We argue that education for meaning requires the design of educational technology that helps learners to more deeply participate in systems that unite the biological, social and technological.
