Technology in Education.  It's come a long way since the chalk boards and primers of one-room school houses.  Chalk boards became dry-erase boards, and primers became text books.  Now, dry erase boards are smart boards, and textbooks morphed into netbooks or kindles.  These changes have revolutionized education, and while most of these changes are for the better, I feel like I need more evidence.  It's easy to loose touch with students in the world of video-recorded lectures and learning games.  Then again, it's possible that students could engage better in classes where they're involved in learning via technology.


I want to learn where the line is between helpful and hurtful use of technology.  And I want to understand the benefits.
