"Technology is a tool. It's not a learning outcome. Too often do we get distracted by all the activities and action we can perform with an iPad or some other device. We can post to Edmodo! Make a Prezi! Post to Facebook! All exciting things, to be sure. But these are not actually learning outcomes .. But they're not really learning. They're using a device."
The issue, instead, is whether a
user's needs can be met with web applications and services.
Google and Chromebook manufacturers are betting that the web
will be enough for many users. That's not a joke. That's a market. And I think
many people believe that's where the world is heading.
