I facebook in Class

I'm a bit late to the party here, but I really agree with Stephanie Hawkins.
The typical college model has not changed enough to keep up with technology. the closest I've seen is clickers in some classes, but other than that, the only difference is professors use powerpoint instead of writing on the chalkboard. most of us don't give our complete and undivided attention in class, and with powerpoint as standard lecture format, who could blame us?
the way some teachers use technology to teach is to prepare a lecture and go through it. the lecture has a direction that is pre-planned, so its not exactly conducive to relevant tangents. the way we use technology is more interactive. facebook, myspace, email etc. are all forms of disseminating information that is relevant as well as interactive. therein lies the clash.
