Let Them Eat Data: How Computers Affect Education, Cultural Diversity, and the Prospects of Ecological Sustainability by C. A. Bowers, X
Do computers foster cultural diversity? Ecological sustainability? In our age of high-tech euphoria we seem content to leave tough questions like these to the experts. That dangerous inclination is at the heart of this important examination of the commercial and educational trends that have left us so uncritically optimistic about global computing. Contrary to the attitudes that have been marketed and taught to us, says C. A. Bowers, the fact is that computers operate on a set of Western cultural assumptions and a market economy that drives consumption. Our indoctrination includes the view of global computing innovations as inevitable and on a par with social progress -- a perspective dismayingly suggestive of the mindset that engendered the vast cultural and ecological disruptions of the industrial revolution and world colonialism. In Let Them Eat Data Bowers discusses important issues that have fallen into the gap between our perceptions and the realities of global computing, including the misuse of the theory of evolution to justify and legitimate the global spread of computers, and the ecological and cultural implications of unmooring knowledge from its local contexts as it is digitized, commodified, and packaged for global consumption. He also suggests ways that educators can help us think more critically about technology. Let Them Eat Data is essential reading if we are to begin democratizing technological decisions, conserving true cultural diversity and intergenerational forms of knowledge, and living within the limits and possibilities of the earth's natural systems.



Changing Minds by Andrea A. diSessa,
Changing Minds by Andrea A. diSessa,
Andrea diSessa's career as a scholar, technologist, and teacher has been driven by one important question: can education--in particular, science education--be transformed by the computer so that children can learn more, learn more easily at an earlier age, and learn with pleasure and commitment? This book is diSessa1s informed and passionate affirmative answer to that question.While written at a level that anyone with a good acquaintance with high school science can understand, the book reflects the depth and breadth of the issues surrounding technology in education. Rejecting the simplistic notion that the computer is merely a tool for more efficient instruction, diSessa shows how computers can be the basis for a new literacy that will change how people think and learn. He discusses the learning theory that explains why computers can be such powerful catalysts for change in education, in particular, how intuitive knowledge is the platform on which students build scientific understanding. He also discusses the material and social reasons for the computer's potential and argues for "two-way literacies," where everyone is a creator as well as consumer of dynamic and interactive expressive forms. DiSessa gives many examples from his work using the Boxer computer environment, an integrated software system designed to investigate computational literacies.



CMS College of Science & Commerce - CMS College of Science & Commerce, affiliated to Bharathiar University, promoted by CMS Educational And Charitable Trust was established in 1988. The college has a long, proud and progressing record in the field of education and offers various UG and PG programmes in the following disciplines: Management, Computer Science, Commerce, Electronics, Catering Science & Hotel Management, Foreign Trade & Finance.

Datatjej - Datatjej (translated: "computer girl" or "data girl") is an annual conference for women studying Computer science in Sweden. (The Computer Science education must be at least 4 years long).

Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science - The Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science (SCS) of Carnegie Mellon University gained its present status as a separate school in 1988; the department of computer science was established in 1965. It ranks as one of the best Computer Science programs in the world.

Theoretical Computer Science (journal) - Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) is a computer science journal published by Elsevier, started in 1975. The area covered is (naturally) theoretical computer science.
