“I think we, as educators, also see a new technology and recognize its power before we fully interpret its full learning potential.”

It’s pretty easy these days to get caught up with all of the latest mobile devices and web 2.0 applications. Stepping back and asking ourselves, “How will this tool positively impact teaching and learning?” seems like a logical first step before we spend so much valuable time and energy starting something “new.”

You also touched on not putting technology before pedagogy. The TPACK framework came to my mind immediately. Are you familiar with it?
