“…Unfortunately, we have found few technoethical critiques of Google in our scholarly searches, experience in schools and universities, and attendance at educational technology conferences. For example, scholarship that discussed “Google” in the TechTrends journal over the last 5 years (2015–2020) focused on how educators can use Google tools (Brown & Green, 2016 ; Francom et al, 2020 ; Rabu & Badlishah, 2020 ), analyzed usability (e.g., Francom et al, 2020 ), or hailed “Google work culture and applications as a model for effective online collaboration” that educators should teach students (Moore, 2016 , p. 233). We largely turned to academic scholarship, legal documents, and technology journalism outside of the educational technology field in our effort to bring more balance to educators’ considerations in adopting and using Google products in schools.…”

Google is a multinational technology company whose massive advertising profits have allowed them to expand into many areas, including education. While the company has increasingly faced public scrutiny, the use of Google software and hardware in schools has often resulted in little debate. In this paper, we conduct a technoethical audit of Google to address ethical, legal, democratic, economic, technological, and pedagogical concerns educators, students, and community members might consider. We describe how Google extracts personal data from students, skirts laws intended to protect them, targets them for profits, obfuscates the company's intent in their Terms of Service, recommends harmful information, and distorts students’ knowledge. We propose that educators and scholars more closely interrogate the tools of Google and other technology companies to move toward more democratic and just uses of technology in schools.

“…Online collaboration will be one of the most important competencies for workers in the future (Moore 2016). Work that relies on interpersonal communication will remain significant, as interpersonal contacts, whether face-to-face or via technology, are needed for discussion, deliberation, and collaboration between people.…”

Various utopias and dystopias about the significance of human communication in the future workplace have been presented. Artificial intelligence (AI) will undoubtedly be one of the most remarkable influences on future work, and employees must prepare themselves to have social robots as coworkers. Partly as a result of the increased use of AI, various forms of selfemployment will gain ground. Lifelong occupations and professions will be less common, and the value of one's ever-evolving skills and knowledge, applicable to diverse work contexts, will consequently receive more emphasis. Knowledge work will increasingly take place in digital communication environments, and telework and other forms of flexible work will continue to grow in popularity. Because communication between people is indispensable, there will always be human work that cannot be automated. Interpersonal work will remain essential.Proficiency in interpersonal and team communication will definitely be a key asset for anyone working under changing circumstances, in varying contexts, and with diverse colleagues. The development of communication competence and the learning of interpersonal skills are vital for future work.

This paper reviews the application of problem based learning (PBL) model to improve the communication skills of students in elementary classrooms. Nowadays, elementary school students need to be equipped not only with academic knowledge but also the 21 st century skills. Communication skills is the 21 st century skills which has gained a lot of attention in recent years. It has become one of the key skills to be implemented in elementary school. Communication skills are the ability to express thoughts clearly in an effective way. However, several studies highlight the teachers' difficulties and challenges in integrating communication skills. For instance, Asian students assume that it is better to be silent than what is said is wrong and can disappoint others. This occurs as a result of cultures in Asia that uphold the value of obedience to teachers. PBL model can be applied as the way to improve students' communication skills. Employing learning activities based on real-life problems is considered as a potential strategy to bridge the gap between the classroom and real world. Also, this method encourages students to be actively involved, conduct group discussions, and deliver classroom presentations which stimulate the students' communication skills. Thus, employing PBL model can improve students' communication skills.
