Libraries Without Books?

"Recently in education there has been a surge in the promotion that schools, colleges and universities go paperless. I am a big advocate for that. With so many programs and applications out there it is possible to for these institutions to still function without paper. I rarely print anything any more for a workshop I am conducting or a lecture I am giving. What's the point? With services like Google Docs (where I wrote this post), Drop.Io, Slideshare, Wikis, and others, everything I can provide is digital. In just one year I went from using 5 boxes of paper to just 2 packs. (There are just somethings I have to print!)

Wired Campus: Advocates for the Blind Sue Arizona State U. Over Kindle Use - Chronicle.com

"The National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind are suing Arizona State University for its use of the Amazon Kindle to distribute electronic textbooks to students, saying the device cannot be used by blind students. The groups say the Kindle has text-to-speech technology that reads books aloud to blind students, but that the device’s menus do not offer a way for blind students to purchase books, select a book to read, or even to activate the text-to-speech feature, according to a joint statement by the two groups."

To Shred, or Not To Shred... by Bob Sprankle

"One of the main reasons I started using Blogs with students was so their work had permanence, and wasn't just shoved in a box in the back of an attic, but published in an authentic venue, where people could continue to interact with it. For years to come.\n\nI still have people leaving comments on the first Blog that I set up for students over 5 years ago. It remains a living, breathing organism. The students can still go back and see their previous work."

Ed tech quarantine? (Techlearning blog)

This MQF (gotta love those government acronyms!) got me thinking about whether we technology early adopters need a self-imposed moratorium on talking about new technology tools, at least in certain settings. One of the most common refrains heard from teachers or administrators who listen to us talk or blog about all of these new cool tools is “Why do I care about this as an educator?” In our eagerness to share our nearly-palpable glee and excitement, we often struggle to adequately answer the “So what?” question in ways that are substantive and meaningful to the average teacher or administrator.
