Technology Reflection Paper

The reflection paper should be 5-9 pages long, but you can exceed this limit. It has been my experience from teaching this course previously that most student need 7-9 pages to address all requirements for the paper. This page count does not include the separate page that you should have for your bibliography. (You can use any style for the references that you wish – Chicago, MLA, APA, etc. – as long as you are consistent.) The paper should accomplish the following: 1) articulate at least FIVE values that you believe are important to evaluating technology in your everyday life; 2) provide at least THREE examples of technology that you use in your everyday life and discuss the extent to which the examples serve to foster or hinder the values that you have put forth as important; and 3) offer and discuss at least ONE reference to an evidence-based study or scholarly article for each of your examples that supports your evaluative claim about the technology (e.g., an evidence-based research article on how social media promotes expanded and positive interactions). Note that it is not sufficient to provide only anecdotes of your experiences with technology; you must support your assessment of the technology with evidence described in rigorous studies.
