Summary

I like long posts.

It is alluring to have the open field of white cyberspace in which to place whatever I want. Writing is something of an act of good faith that there are--or could be--what Stephen King calls "constant readers."

In an attempt to respect the "constant readers'" time, I present a summary of the previous 2.5 entries:

Technology is a lot of fun, presents multiple opportunities, and is a tool to serve one's personal and professional needs. It cannot replace personal interaction during trying times, but can facilitate it by enabling coordination and communication. Finally, the open field of white space--also known as infinite, illusory space in the previous entry--gives the student or teacher enormous creativity and versatility to format information. In formatting this information, however, the student or teacher must be aware that the technology itself (as a medium) shapes the way the information appears to outside observers.

This is a short post, for those constant readers that appreciate brevity.
