Shifts in technology have the opportunity to be used by all but, I think we'll see challenges to it coming from the students to apply new ideas.

Potentially, but I think it's important for educators to explore the possibilities. We're the ones with the teaching qualifications and (hopefully) focus on learning outcomes! :-) So you think we'll be playing catch-up with the students?

I think a bit like the iPhone it will be in the enhancements - the apps that wave will allow that it will come into it's own. Teachers/Educators may try and push for a certain practice but I can well imagine it will be the students who will realise the full potential by seeing the opportunties.
