Question 1:
"Herbert Simon views technology as man's way of interfacing between the in (natural) and outer (artificial) environments (Simon, 1969, p.9)" What exactly does this statement mean? Do you agree with this? Is a person unable to connect to both environments unless they have technology?
Question 2:
Professor Robert Heinich makes the comment that a technology of instruction is needed in order to make an ordinary person capable of superior performance and a means, either printed or electronic, to distribute that instruction. If an instructor doesn't use the latest and greatest technology to introduce new ideas and instruction to his pupils, does that make him/her less of an expert in their content or better yet, less of an instructor period? There are those instructors who rely on traditional methods (the blackboard, the overheads, the textbook from the mid-50's) that are considered effective instructors, but barely know how to use their email, let alone an LCD projector or a document camera.
