As the year ends, I am republishing the Opinion Drive-thru's seven most viewed posts of 2014. This is #4. Originally posted back in February, frankly I have no idea as to why this had the fourth most views.

As schools discuss the rights and wrongs of tablets in education I can only offer an opinion based on two years of usage . . . .The opportunities they provide have led to a shift in my own teaching and this doesn’t appear to have had a negative effect on my students.

Diversity in educational technology doesn’t just extend to Apple vs Google vs Microsoft, but books vs eBooks, YouTube vs Vimeo, Google+ vs facebook, elbow partners vs school-to-school peers, eLearning vs in-class scripted curriculum, Prezi vs PowerPoint, BYOD vs non, and on and on. . . . in the big picture, diversity strengthens the whole, adds important authenticity, complexity, creates new patterns, and puts the focus back on why the learning technology exists in the first place–to serve students.
-- Terry Heick
