- College leaders usually brag about their tech-filled "smart" classrooms, but a dean at Southern Methodist University is proudly removing computers from lecture halls. José A. Bowen, dean of the Meadows School of the Arts, has challenged his colleagues to "teach naked"—by which he means, sans machines.
- More than any thing else, Mr. Bowen wants to discourage professors from using PowerPoint, because they often lean on the slide-display program as a crutch rather using it as a creative tool.
- Haven't most of us realized for a long time that PP is rather limited? Isn't that part of the reason we've been bringing active media into our classrooms for a while now?
- So, what's Bowen's big idea?
  His philosophy is that the information delivery common in today's classroom lectures should be recorded and delivered to students as podcasts or online videos before class sessions.
- PowerPoint is hardly state of the art 'technology'.
  
  PowerPoint presentations are precisely the sort of things so many of us in ed tech are trying to steer folks away from.
  
  So I guess, in that sense, me and the dean are in agreement. Power Point often leads to a passive audience watching a lecture.
  
  Where we disagree is in the 'naked' classroom concept. And this has to do with the fact that if the dean thinks PowerPoint is what we're talking about when we're talking about technology, then he's only demonstrating that he has no idea about what technology is.
  
  We're talking social media, cloud computing, mobile applications.
  
  Tech that actively integrates into learning.
- It's not tech vs. no tech.
  
  It's active tech vs. passive tech.
  
  And if you don't know the difference, just raise your hand and ask. If it's discussion and engagement you are looking for, there are plenty of social technologies that will enhance conversation and learning in any class. In fact, there are plenty of teachers using these technologies everyday in fantastic ways.
- Social technologies empower teachers and students. Access to the Web and its information and communication features is vital to education, not a hindrance.
- What I'd suggest is that you let you teachers keep their smart classrooms and start investing time into teaching them how to integrate social and participatory media into their teaching.
