Hey Ben, It looks like you were contacting this account, my work Google+ account, and not my personal account for the panel last Friday. I am so bummed that I missed the invite. I really did want to be on the panel. Anyway, I was contributing to the notes and I wrote a blog post and put it on the reflection doc. Hope to connect with you more in the future. I love what you are trying to do with collaborative roundtables.

I am really interested in the “myths” that are debunked in this study:

I am really interested in the “myths” that are debunked in this study:

Myth 1: New technologies are being developed all the time, the past history of the impact of technology is irrelevant to what we have now or will be available tomorrow. 

Myth 2: Today’s children are digital natives and the ‘net’ generation – they learn differently from older people. 

Myth 3: Learning has changed now we have access to knowledge through the internet, today’s children don’t need to know stuff, they just need to know where to find it. 

Myth 4: Students are motivated by technology so they must learn better when they use it. 

Myth 5: The Everest Fallacy: we must use technology because it is there!

Myth 6: The “More is Better” Fallacy.
