I don’t see any K-12 distance, online, and/or blended learning item in this issue, but several interesting papers in this open access journal all the same.
Dear subscriber of the Human Technology e-notification service,
The current issue of Human Technology is now online. The papers published in this issue cover a range of topics. The first paper is a narrative literature review of the growing literature addressing the intersection of migrants (of many kinds) with a diversity of social media and online communication; in the next, the author reports on an ethnographic analysis of issues related to politics, women’s engagement in politics, and women’s agency in rural India following the introduction of mobile phones; and the their paper explores the role of photographs in online dating and how early profile photos have a character of “future tense” while later uses of photography to build relationships provides means for couples to maintain contact, particularly in situations whereh the photos are shared immediately after contact. The other three open submissions address diverse topics: serious game design in learning how learners progress through the games, specifically, GraphoGame; deeper understanding of problematic mobile phone and social media behaviors in emerging adults, as well the practices of pubbing, creeping, and catfishing; and how years of teaching experience and teachers’ constructivist beliefs impact how likely they are to incorporate ICTs in their classrooms.
In addition to the six manuscripts, this issue includes an editorial by the current editor in chief regarding how the 50th anniversary of the moon landing provides an opportunity to consider the appartgeist concept and whether humankind can ever experience again a worldwide focus and appreciation of success in a mammoth technological undertaking. Finally, book review discusses the intermingling of information, data, technology, and organization—both positively and negatively—in contemporary societies.
