I've taken the year off from edtech hype, but I came across this story. While I do continually advocate the use of technology for instructional purposes, rather than for the purpose of being able to include "technology integration" on a spreadsheet somewhere, I've just lost the passion I had for the raw edge that I took to be edupunk.
The main problem I have with edtech is that it is often used as a method of replicating old processes rather than creating new ones, especially in the K-12 environment. When I ask teachers what they use a Smartboard for, many say they use it to watch movies.
