Although much progress has been made with the effective use of technology in the classroom, a disparity still exists between student expectations and faculty capabilities. There are many things to chew on in this video (it’s a parody, I know) but three things jump out for me: 1) faculty need the right kind of support to use technology in the classroom; 2) the use of technology should always serve a specific purpose; 3) today’s students need to play an active role in their learning and one way to engage them in that role is to allow them to facilitate their learning through technology.

I am glad that you posted this video to your blog. I have been doing some research about using technology in the classroom, and this is the first time I have read anything that addresses what students will think about it. Our focus is supposed to be on the students, and their learning. It is important for the technology to be relevant to the material, and to the students. Thank you for reminding me about my goals.
