In what ways is Digital Learning truly better?

Set up like Facebook too...

No accident that this page is colored like Facebook

with great power comes great responsibility. Are all students using powerful devices responsibly?

No need for spell check. Does it matter if it's just a discussion??

We can have this discussion without talking to each other. Well said Matt Funk! It's also true that comments are anonymous. Well said Prof. Redekopp!

We can take courses in other countries without leaving our basement.

Everyone's "voice" can be heard

It can personalize searches based on actual location and search history, which helps when looking for information. It can even give you information you didn't know you needed!!

If the net becomes our everything - will we even need to interact with each other on a face to face level? Think ahead 100 years or s

a child will be more motivated to produce higher quality work because they know others will see it!

Software getting Smarter: with programs and software learning more and more about us as we use them.... does this mean that soon the technology will know us better than we know ourselves? Will the technology be able to 'take over' if there is no limit to what it can learn?

Ew- we enable google to learn more every second!

"This is the huge difference between “doing homework” that a teacher will “mark” and knowing that your creations will be viewed by a range of real people" -- a teacher and community is not considered real?

With global publication, I have a feeling copyright and privacy will become obsolete. Big brother is watching man!!!

Global interconnectedness makes possible otherwise impossible relationships.

I'm worried we're developing an exaggerated idea of the speed at which technology in education moves. Ie. This building still doesn't have wifi...

Engagement + Interactivity: students r in control of the learning experience (encourages responsibility for their learning?)

Digital Archives- will the way we remember and track our lives be changing since we are able to document everything at the touch of a button? What are we evolving into? A human/technology mix??

Technology a crutch for engagement? The candy of learning

re: the ability to have a discussion: I hope not!

Richer isnt just more accessible and breadth of resources. Richer=meaningful physical/tactile experience

re: The ability to have a discussion. Is the face to face discussion really a skill that we will value in the (near) future? Or will this become an 'old technology'?

100% classroom participation - great idea, but the purpose of classroom discussion is not always just content (ie. ability to have a discussion)

It alters the concept of time- five digital minutes are very different from five real time minutes. This also alters other ways of communication (face to face).

Collaboration in your pjs at home

Got it!

I was engaged learning without any technology in my own backyard. Better? Worse?

1) Free immediate resources.
