"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. You could have a 1:1 iPad classroom where your students create a bazillion (it's a word, I swear) presentations all about how much they're learning."

"Journal of Educators Online is an online double-blind peer review scholarly journal in the broad area of Computer Mediated Learning (CML) which includes distance, online, electronic, virtual, distributed, blended and mobile learning. Computer-mediated learning occurs when an individual interactively learns (formally or informally, synchronously or asynchronously) about material via computer means where the learning materials and pedagogy are developed to take advantage of the available technologies. Our audience are educators, policy-makers and students interested in the development, delivery, and management of computer mediated learning in the Arts, Business, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Sciences and Social Sciences. The areas of pedagogy, content, technical and organizational issues are within the scope of the journal. If you would like to join the journal's Distribution List to be notified of new developments and when a new issue is available online, please click the Contact button for more information."
