Foundational concepts

Ask first what the educational problem is. Only when the problem is clearly identifed should possible technological solutions be considered.

People interact with people - not machines. Use the computers to facilitate the person-to-person connection.

Students learn from students - look for opportunities for them to share ideas, work, discoveries, concerns, questions and answers.

Faculty are experts guide - but technology should make it easier to bring other expert voices into the classroom.

Make the technology transparent, the content dominant. (KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid!)
