Is Technology Becoming Boring?
As most of you know I'm sure, Clay Shirky has great thoughts on this. Steve Hargardon's Classroom 2.0 NING had a live interview with him this week that is still on his site in a recorded format that…

Is Technology Becoming Boring?
Agreed Jeff- assume you saw the M2 study a few weeks ago which referred to an entirely new generation of 8 - 18 year olds. I can even see the difference of interest between 16 and 20 year olds. Colle…

What is interesting here is that most people think of blogging as technology. Blogging is no different than keeping a journal, albeit online. And you can throw in some pictures or hyperlinks, but you…

NO - If educators are forced to simply implement predetermined instructional procedures and standardized content, in many cases using technology, they may not establish the conditions for education to be linked to critical learning rather than train…

As most of you know I'm sure, Clay Shirky has great thoughts on this. Steve Hargardon's Classroom 2.0 NING had a live interview with him this week that is still on his site in a recorded format that you might want to hear. Interesting stuff.

Judy I was doing the same thing (trying to convert Blogger into a discussion tool) but there are some glitches. I wanted to set up notifcationt to all members of a group (12 of them) that there was a new message posted so they would go read or notic…

Has anyone had experience working with Sophie 2.0? If so, at what level (this is for a higher education project) and what did you use it for? Successful?? Thanks so much.

Thanks Michael!
