Last week I was interviewed by Carly Shuler. We talked about many things. Mainly she wanted to talk about the future of the textbook in the digital age from the perspective of textbook publishers.
The interview was about 50 minutes long so I've broken it down into 4 or 5 chunks.
This first bit focuses on the current state of technology integration in Canadian classrooms. I told her what I know. You probably know more about it. Please share it here in the comments. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing that interview with Darren Kuropatwa. I found one of his statements regarding teaching with tech tools quite fascinating. He said, " When you have a new tool, you need a new metaphor." He illustrated that idea by showing that although a whiteboard looks like a blackboard, it deserves a new metaphor because the whiteboard is really a 2-way window in the classroom.

Hi Maryanne. I'm Darren. Thanks for the feedback. Since this conversation I had with Carly I'm finding this notion of looking for new metaphors a powerful one. It keeps coming up.
