Abstract

This chapter explores the role of technology in literacy from an historical perspective. Using the examples of the printing press, Engelbart's philosophy of technology use, and the Law of Amplification, compared with the current status of technology in education, the authors argue that the technology itself is less important than the framework and pedagogy that it supports.
