| Abstract: | Legend tells us that when humans attempted to scale the heavens by building the Tower of Babel, their language became so confounded they could no longer understand each other. Today, presidents, provosts, professors, parents, prospective students, and IT professionals speak different languages about technology. Each has different hopes--and fears--about technology's interaction with teaching and learning. How can we develop the skills needed to translate among these constituencies? | |
