I just read an interesting question from my PLN (professional learning network).  It was asked, how are we to evaluate technology?

I would suggest that the work by Michael Fullan, stratosphere address this issue.   There are so many programs available on so many types of devices.  How to choose?  Michael Fullan offers 4 criterias that could be used.  Technology should be:

1.  Irresistibly engaging

2.  Elegantly efficient and easy (from a technical standpoint) to use

3.  Technologically ubiquitous 24/7

4. Steeped in real-life problem solving
