Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Another one of those articles saying that, since using technology to the exclusion of all else results in bad habits, technology use should be sharply limited or eliminated altogether. The focus is on Tom Oppenheimer, author of The Flickering Mind: Saving Education From the False Promise of Technology, another anti-tech book, the latest in a string of similar works. This one created a stir on the WWWEDU discussion list . I like Ted Nellen's response: "oh I am sorry [Tom] and others just don't see the beauty of three dimensional learning the technology gives us over two dimensional learning most of us suffered through."
