Tutoring GenX

No slides or text from Diana Oblinger, another of Microsoft's high profile Ed Tech recruits, but the Australian covered her talk, which means we have at least some idea of what she said. Interactivity is important in learning, she said, and new technologies make much more interactivity possible. "Historically, there's been no way to represent the opinions of the other students in an organised fashion without being terribly disruptive. So the applicability of this is huge. It can make the students feel like their needs are being heard." Of course, in order to be interactive, you have to actually use the technology to make your opinions known.CRLFCRLF
