So I did in fact find a little bit of time to look for a good article. 🙂 This is from David Warlick. He comes up with 5 characteristics of a Technology Transformed Learning Environment.
This is a good list but I can see how it can scare traditional teachers.

reflections on tech in the classroom

Tech-infused learning certainly involves the effective and appropriate use of information (contemporary literacy), which includes accessing, working, expressing knowledge — through the networks, digitally, compellingly, and with consideration of others. But what do you look for to see that? What does the learning experience look like?
-
1. You see learning that is fueled by questions.
-
2. Students are engaged in a way that provokes conversation.
-
3. The learning situation is responsive to the learner’s actions — the assignment talks back, so to speak.
-
4. The learning experience compels a personal investment by the learner and contributes to the learner’s identity
-
5. The learning results from significant opportunities to safely make mistakes.

David Warlick sums it all up well, I highly recommend everyone subscribe to 2 cents worth if you aren’t already.
