I was commenting recently on new ways of teaching, here is link to an article how the military is being trained these days.
Military Training
Like Second Life and video games, what is reality and what is not? SL (Second Life) refers to anything outside of its virtual world as RL (real life).
My 12 year old grandson plays Wii constantly. He says when it is broken that is when he goes outside to play.
Children (and adults) see movies where people are blown up, shot with machine guns, and other violence. How do they distinguish what is real and what is on T.V.?
I guess I am old, but all this scares me just a little. I am all for new technologies, but I plan to pick and choose which ones.

Hi Mary, I just wanted to say that I completely agree with you. The technology out there to teach online as well as in the classroom is terrific. But what we use and how we use it should be approached with some thought and consideration. Just using the technology because it is there isn't always the best option for our students. Take care!
