Abstract

The philosophy of technology underlies how people view and use technology. The historic relationship of humans to technology is important to explore when developing a context for current technology applications. Within such a context, this chapter outlines the core components, philosophy and debate contributing to sessions run with early childhood education student teachers and early childhood educators.
