In 2002, Tara Brabazon wrote a treatise called "Digital Hemlock" and in that book she disected Powerpoint and its dominant role in the 'new' classroom. Interesting that now she's onto google . . . I suppose there's 'bad' technology, then there's the poor use of 'bad' technology, then there's 'good' technology, then there's the poor use or implementation of 'good technology' . . . . There is some evidence that students want more than web-based instruction - the point was made by Phil Agre in his chapter in "Digital Acdeme" in 2002 and I wonder if that point can still be made in 2008?
