We don’t encourage computer use in Steiner Education – do we need to rethink our stance on this?
Sydney Rudolf Steiner College presents Workshop 5 of this 6-week online course with Fiona Campbell
Join our Steiner Education students as they ponder and debate five big questions about the tricky nature of human consciousness and its effect on the way we understand history, past, present and future.
In the early sessions we looked back to humanity’s far past to understand the concept of ‘evolving consciousness’ and why this concept is central to Steiner philosophy. We then examined its role today in the foundations of Steiner Education.
Now, in session 5, we will follow up this discussion by looking to the future and ask: What effect will digital technology have on our future development? We don’t encourage its use in Steiner Education in primary years – do we need to rethink our stance on this?
In this workshop we will discuss the pros and cons of using digital technology in educational contexts and its implications for human development and our evolving consciousness. When we look to the far future, what could be some of the consequences of our current immersion into the virtual world and our reliance on what it offers?
So, if you have ever wondered about ‘evolving consciousness’ in Steiner works, or are involved in a Steiner school, or even just intrigued, join us for our online workshops where we unpack some of the big questions about our past and how they shape the possibilities of our future development. Whether your interest is Steiner Education or Steiner philosophy, come and join in to the conversation.
This online course is led by Dr Fiona Campbell who has researched the topic of evolving consciousness for 25 years. Fiona also has a Masters in Digital Media and Information Science and has taught digital technology skills for almost ten years. She has been teaching at Sydney Rudolf Steiner College since 1994 and combines her wealth of knowledge and experience in Anthroposophy, information science and visual arts with her studies about human consciousness and phenomenology.
