The allure of new technological tools
Often when we become aware of new tools we try to use them in familiar ways; we try to adopt the new tools to our tried-and-true methods rather than change our methods to take advantage of capabilities the new tools provide. This has occurred with many or all of the technological tools now being used in an educational environment. It is happening now with wikis. This does not happen because people are not clever enough to figure out how to use the new tools. Often it is because people are just too busy or otherwise distracted to take time to investigate how to best use the new tools. Or it occurs because people become enthralled with the allure of the new tool and they do not adequately consider how to best use it. They fail to do an analysis to determine if they even should use it.

Welcome to my linkblog. This is not an actual blog, sort off. It is pseudo-blog in a sense. It is a collection of links that I have visited and read, and perhaps would like to write something about in my actual blog. Thinks of it as a collection of bookmark that are available for share with friends and like minded individuals that you might know or might know. It also servers as a personal reminder for resources that might be of interest later on.
Check it out.
