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
