And I think your "50 years out of date" number is a bit conservative. Try 100 years or more. I left other comments on John Connell's post. I don't think we disagree, nor do I think Jared is advocating staying away from these technologies as a solution. I do have issues with the idea that creating environments that allow for "hanging out" is a problem. In fact, I would submit that if that element isn't *facilitated* in addition to learning, then it is likely to fail. I point also to Rheingold's teaching environment in support of that notion. Perhaps we differ on "hanging out," but taking the "social" out of social systems seems precisely the wrong way to go. Yes, by definition, creating a “Creepy Treehouse” is bad pedagogy.
