I am a sucker for stories. The podcast link above will take you to a short, 3-minute fable about the Heffalump teachers that despaired and resisted a new mode of learning that the young Heffalumps found more intriguing than memorization and recitation. Though told tongue-in-cheek, the story reminds those of us seeking to be successful educators that change is the only constant in the world of technology. Not a new idea, but a cleverly-told reminder rather to lay hold of the best parts of technology and make it work for us rather than throwing up our hands in despair.
