So using tech frees me. I find the same to be true for many learners whom I get paid to teach (really they are teaching me valuable lessons!). Luckily, that thirst is never quenched - I always want more!

These responses make me think that's what's happening. I also think it's difficult for educators to respectfully disagree with ideas. That's a bit of the problem with online interactions, either everyone is so nice and compliant that little critical thinking emerges or people hide behind anonymity and exhibit less than civilized behaviours. These guys get it right. Thanks for highlighting their work. Thanks Jen,
