We have to learn how to use technology for teaching. For one thing, our students are going to demand it. There are more and more high schools becoming wired. Some of them have pretty sophisticated resources and computer scientists on faculty. Students are going to be alarmed if they come here and the service we're able to provide them is worse than what they received in tenth grade.
Some people think technology is going to reconceptualize the learning at university.
I'm not in that camp. Gandell isn't a Luddite. She believes that the World Wide Web is having a major impact on how students search for information and that it is giving them new ways to interact with one another. But she doesn't expect to see many professor-less universities in her lifetime. I foresee a strong emphasis on technology, but technology is a tool.
