The top technology-related teaching and learning issues as identified by the EDUCAUSE Advisory Committee for Teaching and Learning. The very top issue, "establishing and supporting a culture of evidence," is more political than technological. What's even more interesting, several of the remaining nine issues are all variations of the first. Issues like "demonstrating improvement of learning" and "translating learning research into practice," for example. That technology should demonstrate its effectiveness is a given, I think. But I think it has done that - kids today are prohibited from doing things that could not even be imagined by their parents. If that's not progress, I don't know what it. And this is key. Demonstrating progress is not a matter of filling it in the checkbox assessments administered by unknowing officials. Indeed, the very nature of progress makes such measurement obsolete.
