Often, discussions about the use of technology in legal education focus on the mechanics of how one used technology. For many in the academy, the question of why one might incorporate technology into one's teaching remains insufficiently addressed. Assuming you already are as successful teacher, what can technology do for you and your students? What can be gained? What might be lost? Come to a discussion that will emphasize the individual professor and how she can use technology to encourage active learning, to humanize the classroom and to introduce students to important habits of mind and practice.
