Technology: A New Era in Learning

<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tech_New_Era>

How has technology affected our teaching? How has it changed the lives of our students? Do we fear misusing technology? Are we turning our students into "fast food" learners? TELL Interest Group teachers have used technology in a variety of ways--both high and low tech--with many different levels of students. These educators will discuss the pedagogical impact of the new tools on themselves and their students. They consider both the gains and the possible downsides as we enter a new era in learning.
