Technological Excuses
Technology can do a lot to facilitate good learning: Some of the stuff we ask students to do doesn't really need to happen when they're all together in the classroom, and technology can make it possible for the students to do these things in other places (such as at home, in Hub Central, on the train, or lying in the sun on the banks of a river), and give us more time in the face-to-face sessions for interaction. Some of the ways we have of assessing students are very labour-intensive on the teacher's side, and using technology for these things can allow the teachers to put more energy into other bits of the students' learning experience. It's not feasible to give every one of your six hundred students one-on-one time to explain concepts in multiple different ways, but technology can give them the opportunity to access further resources to support their learning.
