What will it take...

to get educators to use technology? To engage all learners? Share, learn, and connect not just inside the classroom for a few hours but outside as well, 24/7.

Wow. If anyone needs convincing... take a look at this. No technology is not the end all be all, but if the tool fits then use it, exploit it, embrace it. Very well put together. I especially liked the "learning conversation." I think that we all want to engage in "learning conversations" not just in a classroom but with all our connections and relationships. Listening to a lecture and not being able to have input or ask questions or ponder is one-sided and never helped me in any situation.
