Hi, welcome to my blog! My name is Nicole Campbell and I am in my third year at UVIC completing a dual general major in sociology, and technology & society with a minor in business. My academic interests involve learning about health & nutrition, current & future effects of technology on societies, investing money and finance. Essentially all over the place with my studies, but I ultimately see myself finding a career in business. EDCI 335 was a course option of approved electives which goes towards my minor and seems appealing to me! Human reliance on technology has rapidly increased during the last decade and has a large influence on society. Throughout my university education, technology has played a large role in expanding learning techniques and strategies. Through the learning objectives of EDCI 335 my awareness around the effects of technology on learners will expand which I believe is super important to recognize. I grew up on Vancouver’s North Shore, surrounded by my parents, sister and brother. I love living near the ocean, and nature. I love traveling, athletics, cooking/baking, boating, and spending time with family and friends!

Welcome to class, Nicole! What a great variety of hobbies and interests you have! I am really curious about your insights into how technology influences our society! What’re your main takeaways? From a critical teaching perspective, technology integration into the curriculum might lead to a co-constructive relationship between teachers and technology. Technology might become an unseen curriculum and teacher itself as tech limitations may force teachers to adapt/change their teaching strategies. Put simply, technology can dictate how to teach, “restructuring curricular interests, activities, and ways of knowing” (Adams, 2015, p. 91). I hope this class will help us to remember that pedagogy comes first and technology second 🙂
