It IS about Technology: Integrating Higher Ed into Knowledge Culture - Trent Batson, Campus Technology
For more than twenty years, we educational technologists have talked about "integrating information technology into higher education." We have claimed, "It's not about the technology, it's about teaching and learning." And, we have assured faculty members, "They [the machines] are just tools."

This rhetoric no longer applies, if it ever did, and does a disservice to us as we work through the intricacies of this age.
