...I agree with Ken Bain’s (2004) simple but profound definition of teaching as “engaging students, engineering an environment in which [students] learn” (p. 49). That type of effective environment is not limited to brick and mortar, but to any place, real or virtual, where instructional decisions are focused on creating an effective learning experience for students. That may be more challenging online--and just not the right fit for some teachers--but it is not technology itself that keeps a classroom from being effective. As Patricia Webb Boyd (2001) explains, “Distance learning technology is neither inherently good nor bad, but presents a moment of opportunity to question our usual standards of teaching” (p....

Much like the space colony in Disney’s popular animated film Wall-E (2008), where people are shuttled around in floating chairs as their bodies atrophy, each person in “The Machine Stops” spends his or her life in a mechanical chair in a hexagonal cell....

...As Alf Seegert (2010) notes in “Technology and Fleshly Interface in Forster’s “The Machine Stops,” Vashti’s body is arguably “extended” via the Machine, and “enhanced, not diminished” (p. 43), in that the life of the machine has become part of her body and her awareness, resulting in “cyborg-hood” (p. 44)....
