Technology and Informed Youth Decision Making
Technology and Informed Youth Decision Making

David Williamson Shaffer is studying professions (particularly architecture, medicine, conflict resolution, and journalism) as models for technology-enhanced education in traditional disciplines like math, science, and social studies. With funding from the Foundation on Ethics and Technology, he uses design experiments to explore how computers and other new media make it possible to use techniques from the professions to learn by doing: for example, to learn geometry in a graphic design studio, or to learn about ethics through simulated negotiations.
