"Hello,
Yeah, I'm with Theresa on this. The humanists more than likely but I don't know one specifically. Ken Robinson? If there isn't one, we should collaborate - 'Baggott et al, 2014' - and write one! Actually,…"

Roland Baggott replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"Hi Keeley,
I believe that technology use in education should be a complement not instead of. I agree that 'spellcheck' is a bit of a literacy coppout for students who word process documents today, but then maybe we should have quick-fire…"
Keeley Knowles replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"Thank you, Lucy. I agree. And I'm also concerned that beyond the classroom cyber bullying is a problem but also, for so many reasons, I think social relations are affected. Communicating via some form of keyboard is very different to…"
Keeley Knowles replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"Yeah, me too - striking a balance. And we become bored so easily with a piece of technology once its bigger, better version is unleashed; we never become bored of talking, listening, socialising; being human xx "
Tracy brookes replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"Hi Keeley,
Yes it can be addictive!! And I think it goes without saying that any age can feel that addiction! But I also agree with your comment about just how easy it is!! It's important I think to keep things real with the learners and to…"

Jacqueline Thomas replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"I DO know of M'sieu Bourdieu and have just been reading about his concept of habitus. In the arena where I hope to work I think I will be referring frequently to the concenpt of social or cultural capital, which is partly why I am so cross…"
Keeley Knowles replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"Thank you so much for taking the time to think about this. The links you have shared are really valuable and much appreciated. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my concerns about consumption and the disadvantages facing those…"
Jacqueline Thomas replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"Hi Keeley, I am particularly interested in your question about "the potential to inhibit rather than promote equality and diversity." I hosted a homework club at a local library a few years ago and I became very aware of how vital…"
Keeley Knowles commented on Samuel Kidby's blog post Extension Tasks- What effect do they have on the less able learners"I don't know much about creating extension activities yet as I have only taught two sessions so far but how about if the extension activity is expressed in such a way that it takes account of students that are ready to progress as…"
Keeley Knowles replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"Hahaha, technowizbanggadgets! Yes, I'm in your boat - it's got life rafts but it still feels a bit choppy and rather sick! I agree, and whilst not deflating their enthusiasm for it, I believe we should keep technology as an enhancer…"
Roland Baggott replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"Hi Keeley,
Whilst I partly agree with your fears about 'real world' extinction of some basic skills technology seems better at than us humans today .. if QE2 and The Pope have taken it on board .. it seems that it cannt be considered an…"
Keeley Knowles replied to Theresa Young's discussion Humanists theories"I love the humanists. And Maslow. The 'self-actualisation' could be problematic though in as much as nothing stays the same. It is impossible. If it were possible (if) to reach an absolute state of self-actualisation, sudden and…"
Keeley Knowles replied to Tracy brookes's discussion Motivation..."I agree with Lucy - making links to the students' own lives and to what is currently going on in the world really stirs the discussion in our class (sociology)."
Andrea Thompson replied to Keeley Knowles's discussion Does technology ultimately promote equality and enhance social relations?"Yeah it's a good point, they could have been worries about it, and I don't know anyone who doesn't have or hasn't had a telephone, so in time maybe newer means of communication will be embraced so whole heartily as the telephone…"

I would welcome the guidance of anyone able to allay my fears, as well as the opinions of those sharing similar concerns, regarding the following:
As a PGCE (LLS) Sociology student, I am anxious for many reasons about the emphasis the government insists we place on incorporating numeracy, literacy and ICT (in particular) into lessons. As Ken Robinson points out in his inspirational speech regarding the ways in which schools kill…
