provided on page 54 of the assigned article, “The Unintended Consequences
of the Application of Technology in Teaching and Learning Environments,”
which includes work from Portes (2000). Draw a comparison between Portes notion
of the importance of careful and sustained analysis of the social context and
the red flags of poor decisions.
Consider the bicycle helmet example of Blanchflower in the
assigned article, “The Law of Unintended Consequences.” Clearly more
detailed research would be required to support his notion, but he poses an
interesting way of considering unintended consequences. Consult your own
experiences and those in your immediate circle of influence to generate one
potential example of unintended consequences.
