"As soon as the handheld gadgets called "clickers" hit the University of Colorado at Boulder, Douglas Duncan saw cheating.
The astronomy instructor and director of the Fiske Planetarium was observing a colleague's physics class in 2002, when the university introduced the electronic devices that students use to respond to in-class questions. He glanced at the first row and saw a student with four clickers spread out before him. It turned out that only one was his—the rest belonged to his sleeping roommates."

My initial reply argued that 1) Tech should come as an addition to a solid core program; 2) Pedagogy still matters most and 3) Reading and math scores are not the sole valid measures of educational outcomes. While these claim remain valid, the full discussion about educational technology needs to include four final points.

"Doodling is often seen as a sign of distraction. If you’re doodling, you’re not paying attention. If you’re drawing, you’re not taking notes. You’re not listening. You’re not learning.
But research published in the latest edition of the journal Science challenges the anti-doodling stance. It contends that not only can doodling help students learn, but that drawing is an important tool for scientific discovery."

...Each type of member plays a role in an online community, and even though lurkers don't appear to engage directly with you or other members they can potentially be part of the silent majority advocating on your behalf. Online communities are about communication regardless of where the discussions originate. What you do with and how you keep track of the engagement is an entirely different story.

Underpinning a disdain for social media in higher ed is the assumption that students have an inherent aptitude for new technologies (RT @polarisdotca: Great article on social media in education, esp #highered, by @joshsternberg in The Atlantic
This article provides insight into how classrooms are still the same as they were a long time ago. I liked the analogy they used of a doctor being put in a current hospital and may be lost, but if you put a professor from a thousand years ago into a modern classroom he would know exactly what to do. It is crazy to think that with all that we have advanced in technology we have yet used it to improve our education system and use it to our advantage.
