The importance of education and development in Costa Rica makes it an ideal location for this program, which explores how anthropological knowledge can inform the design of culturally responsive learning environments. We collaborate with the Omar Dengo Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Costa Rica that for the last 20 years has investigated and implemented several endeavors on technologies of education. Through this program, students participate in the implementation of Costa Rica’s One to One Computing initiative. This course explores the intersection between anthropological and educational research and theory building. Topics include the comparative ethnographic studies of educational forms (including craft apprenticeship and formal schooling); socio-cultural theories of cognitive and linguistic development; and varieties of literacy, including computer-based literacy, which we term “cybercy.” We work to demonstrate how ethnographic inquiry and theorizing can provide critical insight into the ways digital technologies mediate practices of the school and local community
