Option #2: Learning Materials
Choose two of the historical resources (not the articles defining technological determinism & social constructivism) from the Required Learning Materials that interest you and then do the following:
- Put full citations for both of the resources in MLA format at the top of your post.
- For each resource, explain whether it takes the approach of social constructivism or technological determinism? Or is there a combination of both approaches? How do you know this? What specifics from each resource give you hints about its approach?
- Determine which resource you think is most successful with its approach and explain why.
- Use at least one quote from each resource in your discussion. Make sure to provide in-text citations for both quotes in MLA format.
