Theory vs Reality

So today I polled some of my high school classes about what they thought of blogging, texting, or facebooking as a class for mathematical enrichment/learning.  I must admit I was a bit surprised by their reaction.  "No way, leave us alone" was generally the theme.  After further reflection I guess I should not have been surprised.  But this will not deter me from attempting some of these ideas.  It did make me realize though that technology is not a magic pill that will make all students learn...it's just like any other method...it will engage some but not all...it's just another tool(s) on the belt.
