In 2013, the NCSS Board of Directors drafted a Technology Position Statement and Guidelines that articulated the role of emerging technologies in shaping social studies content and curriculum. Saying that the explosion of online data and blended settings for learning “are reshaping how children and youth are able to act as citizens and consumers” (NCSS, 2013), one of the guidelines encourages teachers to draw parallels between the “growth of Wikipedia and the democratization of knowledge” with the advent of movable type and the mechanical printing press in the 1550s. Do you feel this is an accurate comparison? What information could you cite to support or question this connection?
