How can today’s Technology help people and the environment?
TECHNOLOGY PRO-ENVIRONMENT
According to ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education), the goal of effective digital citizenship instruction is to “create thoughtful, empathetic digital citizens who can wrestle with the important ethical questions at the intersection of technology and humanity.”
Digital Citizenship in Education
ISTE resources help you bring digital citizenship to the classroom in meaningful ways
Digital citizenship is about much more than online safety — or a long list of don’ts. It’s also about the do’s that help create thoughtful, empathetic digital citizens who can wrestle with the important ethical questions at the intersection of technology and humanity.
Those do’s include:- Using technology to make your community better.
- Engaging respectfully online with people who have different beliefs than you.
- Using technology to make your voice heard by public leaders and to shape public policy.
- Determining the validity of online sources of information.
This new lens focuses on empowering learners to be in community with others in online spaces and showing them that digital citizenship goes beyond conversations about personal responsibility. It’s about being active citizens who see possibilities instead of problems and opportunities instead of risks as they curate a positive and effective digital footprint.
And yet, we find the discussion about climate change and technology’s direct impact on the factors influencing it very much lacking.
It feels incredibly disingenuous to blog about technology, digital citizenship, STEM and hope for a technology solution…without acknowledging and encouraging others to acknowledge the impact of technology and our consumption of technology on the environment.
Many of us are talking around it. ISTE standards encourage the empowered learner to engage with the global community, solve real-world problems, and even use technology to shape public policy We use technology to research global warming, to learn the effects of climate change, to do our science lessons, simulations, and even create 3D models. I found lots of promising information about green technology and sustainable schools.
But I didn’t see much current information about the “greening” of the actual devices we use and how we use them in and out of the classroom.
If you are using devices in the classroom, if students are using devices at home, if you are teaching in the 21st century, part of your digital citizenship speech needs to include discussions around e-waste and digital carbon footprints.
I’m hoping by sharing here, it gets you thinking and leads to more questions. Watch above video to answer the follow question:

using clean and / or renewable technology to take care of the environment technology has two functions, 1 is to get us human beings important information and 2 is to help the environment, therefore we can help the environment through something Funny how is technology like in the video he showed us we don't have to have an intelligent house it's better to be cars let's help the environment and remember not only with 3r we can help the environment but also with technology
ReplyDeletetechnology helps people who have diseases like down syndrome, disability etc ... technology can help the environment with solar panels, wind energy and other experiments
ReplyDeleteFor many years industrial and technological needs have been satisfied without paying attention to the possible damage caused to the environment. However, today these damages are known and the first steps are already being taken to reverse them.
ReplyDeleteIt is in this framework that Green Technologies or Green IT appear. They refer to the efficient use of computational resources minimizing the environmental impact, maximizing its economic viability and ensuring social duties. Not only does it identify the main energy-consuming technologies and producers of environmental waste, but it also offers the development of green computing products and promotes computational recycling.

Deletethe improvement in living conditions caused by technological development world population increased energy expenditure food production and consumer goods in turn acceleration environmental pollution but we can help the planet with ecological energy with solar panels that reduce pollution
ReplyDeleteHelps humans using effective methods, for example robots are those that help us clean rivers and seas because some robots are programmed so that they can get wet

ReplyDeleteLife with technology
Technology can help the environment, with electric cars that do not use gasoline to run and use the energy of the sun with panels, technology can also help people to carry out their daily activities such as shopping or other activities, as we saw in the video that a technological device helped a person to go to the supermarket, helping him when getting off the bus, also how to withdraw money from the ATM and the device also carried the shopping list.
Currently it has helped me to do my classes and homework.
Technology has advanced over time, this advance has allowed man to communicate, learn new things, move, work, study, etc ..., but progress has also increasingly damaged planet Earth, to fix this damage the great scientists and ordinary people.
ReplyDeleteThey have created innovative inventions such as: energy saving light bulbs, solar panels, vertical crops and bioluminescent paths.

ReplyDeletela tecnología nos puede ayudar a nosotros a incentivar el ahorro de energía o recursos, también ayudarnos a hacer cosas cotidianas como ir de compras, recordarnos eventos importantes etc...
ReplyDeletela tecnología ayuda a el medio ambiente recaudando energía;como la solar o eólica. sin necesidad de combustibles fósiles o también programar tecnologías para reproducir plantas.hay algunas a acciones que al ayudar a las personas automáticamente ayudan a el medio ambiente.todo esto importante para asegurar nuestro futuro y de los demás.

ReplyDeleteThe technology there are two types of technology, one is good and the other is bad, for example the technology is good, the good one is where you place solar panels, electric cars, airplanes,

technology is very helpful in ensuring that laws and regulations that protect the environment are followed. There are already drones that monitor areas of flora and fauna, devices and systems that analyze the level of air pollution, as well as a very meticulous technological control that tests the quality of any type of product that reaches the market, companies and people are reducing largely the use of paper thanks to storage in memory systems and in the cloud. Mail, notes and agendas are now archived in the digital world, helping to reduce deforestation

ReplyDeleteDuvan. Current technology makes our work easier especially to people with disabilities. Something important is that life expectancy increased due to medical advances since technology is quite developed, about the environment, technology through apps teaches to find ways how to separate the residual. It is also used in the treatment of waste of water and the obtaining of renewable energy. Thanks you

ReplyDeleteBusinesses and individuals are greatly reducing the use of paper thanks to storage in memory systems and in the cloud. Mail, notes and agendas are now archived in the digital world, helping to reduce deforestation.Little by little we will destroy planet earth. 2- Fires, pollution, the production of CO2 influence the deterioration of the ozone layer. 3- The contamination of the water by sewage causes important losses of marine animal species. Thanks you

ReplyDeleteLa preocupación por el hombre mismo y su destino debe ser siempre el objetivo principal de todos los esfuerzos tecnológicos ... para que las creaciones de nuestras mentes sean una bendición y no una maldición para el hombre.
El objetivo principal de las tecnologías es transformar el entorno humano para adaptarlo mejor a las necesidades y deseos del hombre. En este proceso, los recursos naturales y las personas se utilizan para proporcionar información, trabajo y mercado para las actividades tecnológicas.
Desde hace muchos años se satisfacen las necesidades industriales y tecnológicas sin prestar atención a los posibles daños ocasionados al medio ambiente. Sin embargo, hoy se conocen estos daños y ya se están dando los primeros pasos para revertirlos.

Technology can help people with difficulties, in complex things or in basic things, for example, to guide them if they are lost with GPS, this can be of great help for blind people. To people who do not have any part of their body with very advanced high-tech prosthetics that replace lost body parts.
Regarding the environment and fauna, technology can help, for example, through drones that identify the paths used by hunters of endangered animals. Chips are also placed on the animals that help so that they can be detected and monitored, helping their conservation.

La tecnología puede ayudar a las personas con dificultades, en cosas complejas o en cosas básicas, por ejemplo, a guiarles si están perdido con GPS, esto puede ser de gran ayuda para personas ciegas. A personas que no tienen alguna parte de su cuerpo con prótesis muy avanzadas de alta tecnología que remplazan las partes del cuerpo perdidas.
En cuanto al medio ambiente y la fauna la tecnología puede ayudar por ejemplo por medio de drones que identifican los caminos que utilizan los cazadores de animales en vía de extinción. También a los animales se les colocan chips que ayudan para que puedan ser detectados y hacerles seguimiento ayudando a su conservación.

ReplyDeleteTechnologies use, in general, different methods from the scientific one, although experimentation is also used by science. The methods differ depending on whether they are technologies for artifactual or industrial production of artifacts, for the provision of services, for the performance or organization of tasks of any kind. A method common to all manufacturing technologies is the use of tools and instruments for the construction of artifacts. Service delivery technologies such as the power supply system make use of complex facilities run by specialized personnel.
