One of the issues facing technology advocates is the increased focus on “scientifically based research.” Who can be opposed to good science? A presentation by Lynn Schrum and Kelly Glassett (paper online) provides a nice summary of this issue for the educational technologist.

I apologize for my recent reduction in post frequency. I had intended to finish up the conference with a series of comments. I found myself spending a couple of days in the San Francisco airport trying to escape from the west coast. What are the odds two planes from two airlines would have equipment problems? My wife, flying to Mexico to complete a trip she intended to take a year ago during her bout with cancer, also was delayed because of mechanical problems. I guess I am glad these problems are found on the ground rather than once aloft.
