Tablets vs. Textbooks

I feel as though this course has exposed me to so many resources that I've been on technology overload. Not only have I created a diigo, twitter, and blog, but I've also created a classroom blog and am currently creating a digital story! I love the idea of creating foundation pieces for the classroom through technology instead of traditional posters and text books. After reading The Future of Education: Tablets vs. Textbooks, I'm still torn. Although I am still somewhat hesitant regarding letting RSS run my literacy centers, I have to admit, it's a change I'd rather be making sooner than later. What's your opinion regarding turning your classroom into technology headquarters? Do you think your students will advance their learning as much as technology tells us it will?

What I've found when researching/reading anything is that an amazing author often has numerous mediums to share his information. After reading Troy Hicks' "The Digital Writing Workshop", I went surfing the web for more information about him. Not only did I find his amazing blog, but I also found his wiki, and twitter too! Check out his other resources for additional information about everything technology.
