I think that it's better to say that new technology does not always add value -- and the lack of advanced technology in a classroom is not necessarily a hindrance.

If, for example, you're teaching students to compose an essay and don't need to find outside sources, then you don't need anything more sophisticated than basic word processing.

I teach MLA and APA documentation a lot. There are programs that create works cited and reference list citations. Generally, the results have errors, but these programs will create approximations.

I don't like them because (1) they are filled with errors, (2) there's no reason why people can't create citations themselves, and (3) they won't learn how to read citations easily if they don't practice writing them on their own.

When I teach MLA and APA, students learn how a citation is structured and why it is structured that way. If they simply copy and paste from a citation machine, they don't.

Yes, it would now appear that there are decidedly non-neat elements to the story. Ditto what ted said.

The Pope got rid of Limbo, which changed a lot of 3rd Edition rules.
