    Impact study of e-portfolios on learning , and in
    particular, displays an interesting graphic of “the three
    distinct components of an e-portfolio system: the digital

    different processes, and different presentation portfolios
    developed for different purposes and audiences.”

To enhance instruction with technology or not. That really shouldn’t be a question. However, every now and then someone publishes an article that gets everyone fired up.

* The Nay Sayer
Pimp My Course
Rob Jenkins, Chronicle of Higher Education
http://chronicle.com/jobs/news/2007/07/2007071101c/careers.html

Everyone Else
with comments by Stephen Downes
http://www.downes.ca/cgi-bin/page.cgi?post=40832

* Alan Levine sums up this article – yet another anti-technology screed in the Chronicle – with one word: Loser
http://cogdogblog.com/2007/07/12/chronicle-2/.

* More snark
http://newkidonthehallway.typepad.com/new_kid_on_the_hallway/2007/07/oh-look-more-sn.html, is now New Kid on the Hallway describes it, correctly. “What’s particularly disturbing about this column is that much of his dismissal of educational technology seems to be inspired by a deep contempt for his students.” Quite so.

* The blog Twice
http://twicetenured.blogspot.com/2007/07/is-it-adding-technology-worth-it.html says the article “was kind of funny.”

* Geeky Mom
http://geekymom.blogspot.com/2007/07/old-guard.html asks, “Why is it that we never see articles in the Chronicle about successful uses of technology in the classroom?”

* Aacademic Hack
http://academhack.outsidethetext.com/home/?p=191 writes, “If I had time I would point out everything that is wrong with the Chronicle piece.”

* Pharyngula
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/07/the_chronicle_does_it_again.php writes, “It seems to be nothing but a long whine about modern teaching technologies – it’s rather pathetic, actually, but the Chronicle seems to have a fondness for running occasional articles from defensive, confused Luddites.”

* On the Verge
http://palabreria.bloghole.org/index.php?p=132 calls the author’s tone “clearly self-deprecating and tongue-in-cheek.” I call it the characteristically lazy and sloppy journalism that serves as the best evidence we could ask for regarding the increasing irrelevance of traditional media.
