Q10: A super appropriate question: How do you avoid being overwhelmed by technology? #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Athena, have you seen this? http://t.co/thGCAmrEVt #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Kayla E, well said! #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

A8 simple interface, transparent way to use it #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Q8: What are some specific qualities that a tech tool must have before you decide to use it? #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Brian, yes, good point that it has to work for both Ts and Ss #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Kayla M is right, though, you have to try something a few times before deciding how well it works #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

A7: Sometimes it's simply a matter of time. If it takes too much time using tech, I don't do it. #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Kayla E, yes, having learners (whether students or teachers) take ownership is key #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Torrey, thanks for the link. At a talk by a "superstar" from Berkeley last week he asked the audience to put away their phones #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Kayla McL, yes, that's one of the greatest strengths of the Internet and of multimedia. #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Q6: How can technology empower students as learners? #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Anthony, good point, learning and teaching should always be fluid, back and forth (an open system, as you say) #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

A5: Also, there's a difference between knowing about a technology and using it wisely :) #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

A5 No, it doesn't worry me. Once I know who they are, I ask them to help teach! #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Carlye, yes, great idea to come back to ftf for discussion and clarification (teacher often needed for this!) #ucsbumass

[Dorothy Chun @dchunucsb]

Athena, I just recently saw that TED talk - amazing! #ucsbumass
