"I figure it will take two years for the students to figure out the tech"
Disagree. Students will have figured out this tech by the start of next semester, at the latest.
@britter @alasdairroberts I appreciate this point and the other aspect of this as to how instructors present/teach/use tech tools. There are many things we can do with a hammer, it can be a weapon, a paper weight, or a building tool.
