Hello and welcome
Jeremy Price is a doctoral student in the Science, Technology, and Math Program of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the Lynch School of Education of Boston College. He is focusing on science and environmental education as a means to encourage connections with community connections and activism, and the ways that technology can help facilitate this transfer, and in turn, spark an interest in learning more about science and environmental science.
Jeremy is especially interested in drawing upon Jewish thinkers—such as Martin Buber, Hannah Arendt, Franz Rosenzweig, and Walter Benjamin—to inform his approach to education, as well as the humanistic approaches to science and technology education and the critical constructivism of the Didaktik tradtion. He is also interested in the ways that learners, teachers, and curriculum developers interact through technology with curriculum and with each other to engage in dialogue and to make meaning of the world around them, and the ways that technology can serve to scaffold the process for learners from diverse backgrounds and with diverse learning needs and preferences.
"A child does not represent the sum total of his parents; the child is something that has never been before, something quite unpredictable. Similarly, a generation can only receive the teachings in the sense that it renews them. We do not take unless we also give." - Martin Buber
"Education is the point at which we decide whether we love the world enough to assume responsibility for it and by the same token save from the ruin which, except for renewal, except for the coming of the new and young, would be inevitable. And education, too, is where we decide whether we love our children enough not to expel them from our world and leave them to their own devices, nor to strike from their hands their chance of undertaking something new, something unforeseen by us, but to prepare them in advance for the task of renewing a common world." - Hannah Arendt
