A Cell to Action

12/27/2006

However, Hudson and Bruckman noted that previous research on other learning environments has indicated that technology d'es not guarantee a positive effect. If it were that easy for technology to influence complex social mechanisms, I suppose every college and university would be piloting academic use of smart phones, internet chat, and other forms of mediated interaction.

Still, if mobile devices are managing to starve crocodiles and influence politics in central Africa, that’s a power worth our attention. Harnessing it effectively in the classroom is our challenge.
