Description: We are in the stone age of the
photonics age, and the rate of technology change will only
accelerate. Some educators are excited about using
technology to transform classrooms, but are all suggested
changes appropriate? What philosophy should guide us? A
variety of "educational technology myths" will be suggested
and discussed.
