Abstract

This chapter examines the intersection of transhumanism and the use of technology as a cognitive tool in education. Transhumanism is explored as a pedagogical philosophy to transform the limits of self by using educational technology tools to expand global networked knowledge. These tools include technologies that stimulate learning to expand and extend cognitive and metacognitive capabilities. The role of pedagogy is to create educative experiences that provide meaningful opportunities for students to cultivate deeper conceptual understandings. Students learn necessary skills and develop knowledge to improve conceptual competencies and cognitive capabilities. When human thought and capabilities are used in conjunction with technology as a cognitive instructional tool, the learning experience is transformed. The potential exists to extend the conceptual competencies of the learner, thus realizing the transhumanists' goal of transforming learning experiences and improving student potential.
