Education in the 21st Century: Technology for good or ill?

Venue: Q230 Level 2, Kwong Lee Dow Building

Presenters: Professor Baroness Susan Greenfield CBE

Socrates’ opposition of writing as a complete method for communicating knowledge is often invoked in debates over the value of digital technologies in the classroom. Is this a useful anecdote to the debate? What evidence should inform our planning for educating the current and next generations? What are the features of an education that will prepare our children to flourish and shape society for a positive future?
