Technology as Epistemology by Peter Schilling, Amherst College

Peter Schilling acknowledges that "To say 'new technology is changing the way we think' is as obvious as it is ambiguous." But he also probes the point and challenges our thinking: "Not only do our students possess skills and experiences that previous generations do not, but the very neurological structures and pathways they have developed as part of their learning are based on the technologies they use to create, store, and disseminate information." It's not just about skills and experiences but "categories, taxonomies, and other tools they use for thinking" that are "different from those used by their teachers."
