Technology and the Developmental Needs of Adolescents (Updated! 7/29/11)
This document discusses the developmental needs of young adolescents and how technology can support these needs. It focuses on the four main developmental areas: physical, intellectual, emotional, and social needs. For each area, it provides examples of how certain technologies and online activities can engage adolescents and help meet their developmental needs, rather than solely focusing on academic standards. The overall message is that remembering adolescents' well-rounded developmental needs is important for bringing humanity back to education.
