Juan, Indeed - connectivity is now continuous and seamless; without the boundaries and constraints that used to curtail teaching and learning. How do you think this benefits the learning process specifically? Dr. Ruth Reynard

The White Board
Melanie , You might be successful in obtaining the mobile board strips (e.g. Mimio strips) to use with any regular white board. These strips are not a robust as an actual board but do provide an interactive projection surface you can use. Dr. Ruth Reynard

Aaron, Good points, Aaron, however, society as a whole uses new technology and is therefore affected by it. Therefore, even if I don't have access directly, I experience it at school, hospital, other homes, malls, stores etc. As such, we as instructors can maximize the exposure through courses and instructional design and help all students succeed.
