摘要：This essay argues that technology is not valueless; that is, technology comes equipped with its own set of values. Thus, before we continue to implement instructional technology (IT), we must consider the consequences of those values for instructors as well as students. Moreover, one of the motivations behind using IT is that such techniques transcend the barriers of more traditional Socratic techniques. We argue that once we examine the most compelling arguments for IT (i.e., that it encourages discovery-based, constructive learning styles), it emerges as more Socratic than it would first appear. We maintain that IT has the potential to benefit pedagogy, but caution instructors to think critically about IT, and its implicit ideology, as well as their role of educator rather than trainer.
