Former UF graduate who doesn't use technology...
For our article this week, I chose one from the March 31, 2000, issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education. The article is called "David Noble's Battle to Defend the 'Sacred Space' of the Classroom," which speaks about a professor and author who doesn't use any form of technology. He doesn't use email; he writes his books on paper and submits them to publishers as is; he doesn't make webpages for his courses nor does he have an online presence except for what other people publish about him; he refuses to teach online courses... It's an interesting piece to read. http://chronicle.com/free/v46/i30/30a00101.htm

Kathryn,
This is a great article. Very interesting perspective! And from a UF graduate as well. I found it interesting how the "technology experts" were quick to dismiss his perspective and say that nobody really takes him seriously. Clearly people do have an interest in his perspective, otherwise his point of view wouldn't be published through a media that he so deeply dislikes.
