Randy has an interesting thought on rule breakers in edutech: "But it's no wonder many of us are edublogging instead of relying on our institutions for help. They really can't help us; they're currently unprepared to develop the open applications needed to deliver modern instruction."
Some institutions are obviously more able than others to provide "modern instruction". It's important to note that the problem is two-fold: 1. changing understanding of what it means to teach in a knowledge society (which relates to methodologies that have nothing to do with technology)...and 2. incorporating the characteristics of technology to effectively improve the quality of instruction, or the ability for people to access learning.
