Assignment #1

Choose a family member, friend or colleague and interview them. Ask them about their experiences with technology as they were growing up in their educational environment. Have them share how they use technology in their daily routine for work and personally. Summarize the responses and submit a 2-page paper.

Make sure to substantiate your paper with research from either readings in the class or outside scholarly sources. There is no right or wrong answer for this; the paper will be graded on the strength of the case being presented.

The paper needs to be double-spaced, full name in the header and attention should be paid to grammar and syntax. There is no need to write the questions as this is mainly a summary of the interview.
