Not Your Daddy's Science Classroom!

This post illustrates to me just how large the world of educational technology has become. The point is to show how much science classrooms have changed in the 21st century. It points to services like the Concord Consortium , Promethean World, Project Lead the Way and Epals. If you follow the links and look at them (and you should!) you'll see that each involves a range of technologies, typically involves a large user community, and typically involves a level of corporate support. They often involve contests enrolling students for small prizes, promoting entries like this to the this one to the Kavli Science Video Contest. I have mixed feelings about all this - I love the new technology and the energy and thre involvement. But there's a social and political element that concerns me.
