Said so nicely….

Dave Warlick has summed up what I was trying to say during the ACEC conference in his post http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/2006/10/06/sigh/

A conference full of vendors that just try and convince me that their gadget or device is going to change education frustrates me to the core.  Where is the pedagogical thought behind any of it and what about proving to me that this technology is going to enhance literacy for the 21st century.  It is all about information and literacy skills not about engaging kids with a new tool.  That lasts all of 10mins and then the kids are waiting for the next thing.

Dave come and do a keynote in Aus…..  Mind you we had some great minds at ACEC from your way that echoed much of what you preach here.  I think technologists need to hear your message as many of us techno nerds get caught up in gadgets and the integration of technology and forget about the essence of 21st century literacy and or learning.
