I found many sources, which is comforting, so I know I'll find much to talk about. There are articles talking about the use of smartboards, cellphones and other digital means within the classrooms and possible challenges involved with the process. I typed my question of invention into Google, and got a ton of hits, so it definitely helped out.

It looks as though you have found a good range of sources to help you get started, Stuart. As you consider these sources, look for ways to focus in your own research (as I described in response to your previous blog post).
