Broken Escalator

Technology is wonderful, but we can't always expect technology to answer all of our problems in life.  We can't arrive at our destination by hoping that someone else will fix our problems.

Baby doesn't need tech to learn

Baby doesn't need tech to learn | Social Media Classroom | Scoop.it
Child developmental experts say that the new and disturbing trend of getting toddlers iPads to play with is likely to do more long term harm than good.

 

Another good cautionary tale that reminds us that technology in and of itself is not sound pedagogy.  Technology can strengthen teaching and learning methods but isn't the main goal.  I am a huge fan of technology within education, but there are limits as the image of this poor baby suggests.
