This focused reading list, with cover letter, is an optional graduate portfolio paper. The reading list offers technologists, instructional designers, and educators alike a look into pedagogical and andragogical perspectives around the uses of technology. As technologists we are often exposed to emerging technologies while they are being crafted and at times, we are the crafters. As instructional designers, we may be tasked with wielding emerging technologies for the purposes of creating new learning experiences. As we create these technologies, it is important to design with intent and plan for the unintended. For when we wield and develop learning technologies, we should strive to keep the balance in our technological approaches, be it andragogical or pedagogical.
