Technorealism is a name that has been coined for thinking critically about the role that information technology plays in society and history.
This technoromantic (Benyon & Mackay, 1989) or technicist (Bryson & deCastell, 1998) perspective has recently been met with a call to assume a middle ground of so-called technorealism where the rhetoric and reality of technology is brought into focus (Walker & White, 2002).
Technorealism is desperately needed in teacher education programs to help ameliorate the mad rush to computer technology integration for its own sake.
