It's not so much the article but the responses that intrigued me. I've had this conversation (oh, so many times) and have responded that, indeed, I, the teacher, could effectively teach with a stubby pencil and a piece of scrap paper if I had to. But that reflects my abilities as the instructor/facilitator. What about the learner? How well do I prepare this young person to be a functional participant of the 21st century. It's not about us. It's about them. We have to look out for their futures, their needs, and their ability to compete with the other learners of their generation.
