What is the role of technology in a classical Christian education directed toward cultivating students who will live well? Based on the work of leading media ecologists as well as contemporary research, this seminar examines foundational questions both about the nature of technology and about how technology shapes us in ways that conduce to (or detract from) human flourishing. By addressing these key issues we will work to develop a nuanced understanding of technology and to consider how best to educate the next generation for flourishing in a technological society.
