Out-TeAcH: Some Thoughts on Educational Technology

	The classroom cage
	in the technological age
	has lots of gadgets
	and hi-speed tapes.

	Authorized information
	is instantly displayed
	while student performance is assessed
	and resistance assayed.

	Now
	it seems t
	eachers no longer need to t
	each - just make sure stu
	dents load
	Officially Sanctioned Software
	into proper neural leads.

	Who will control
	the soft
	ware t
	hat goes into t
	heir minds?

	What will hap
	pen if a bug in
	vades and thr
	ives?


Melissa: (sighing)We rely too much on external technology.

Tim:     (nodding) Yeah, it seems we are forgetting our "inner technology": 
         how to use human consciousness and the brain.

Satoru:  (shrugging) Inner, outer… does it really matter where the technology comes from?

Liao:    (pausing) Most likely, it matters in ways most of us can only begin to imagine.
