Brian Bennet 's blog was about the problem with introducing stuff to children with no real reason behind it other than "just because we can". More specifically tech in the classroom, and is it really worth it to take the time and learn all the new products to get children engaged in a way that we weren't doing before. He wants people to think more critical on what is introduced to students rather than just throwing the newest thing in front of them and giving it into the hands of engineers to teach the students.
My comment to Brian Bennet:
I agree with you, the reasoning of just because you can, does not necessarily mean you should. Hindsight is 20/20 though. Although sometimes it is nice to have a student's lesson plan online, with the idea that they will actually do it, it is sometimes better to have that one on one contact with the student and teacher instead of everything going through technology.
