As a teacher I agree with the article but... When I ask students to blog or respond on our Facebook page or to take notes on phone they argue and complain. I do find that power points on a projection screen is no different than whiteboard or chalkboard. It is still a lecture. I try all technology in the classroom but it is hard. I use websites and ask students to download and they want hard copy. To them own and paper notes are easy. It is changing in classroom but slowly.
