I sometimes think we are so enamored
with the new technology we substitute it for real environmental action or
real
analysis from being outdoors in the field.
_________
I agree with that and I would like to add that there is never just one
solution to a complex problem. I think that exchanging discs (virus free of
course), using the net, expanding experiential learning and increasing the
use of projects and interactive tools, teaching can become more interesting
and not less. I would hate sitting in front of the computer all of the time,
too. But let's use it as one tool of many. Reducing all work to work on the
net is not the answer, at least as I see it. But if it contains the amount
of paper turn out, then it's one step. Plastic waste is a concern, but discs
can be used over and over unlike paper. Most undergrads don't keep all of
their papers that they use on discs. The good ones, the big ones, etc. The
rest gets deleted and the space used for something else.
Just some thoughts
