Blogging Pedagogy

I read a really interesting interview with Nicholas Carr this week. Carr argues internet use harms our ability to reflect deeply.

The interview is useful for a couple of reasons: first, instructors may want to think about how decisions to use technology or not affect the way their students are learning. We assume in the CWRL that using technology in the classroom is good, and this interview questions those assumptions. Second, if students read this article in class, they could critique their course (and their instructor's choices), which may help them think critically about what they are supposed to be learning and gaining by using technology in the classroom. I can see the article being a way to frame a learning record essay also.
