When it comes to technology in the classroom I think I'm pretty realistic. On the one hand, schools should prepare students to do knowledge work in a knowledge world, and technology (including tablets) are some of the tools of that work. On the other hand, I don't think many of our traditional outcome measures will reflect students with tablets versus without, and I'm skeptical of any single "fix" anybody claims will positively impact education at scale.
