In all seriousness, sometimes I wonder if big symposiums on this topic really do anything. Don't you think we just need to start getting a few tenured professors on the tech bandwagon in order to legitmize the practice of using new media in the classroom? Otherwise, it's just a bunch of fresh-minted MA or Ph.D.'s talking about how things need to change. Or maybe those youngbloods should be the ones to just, like, you know, do it. Try something new. Fuck the consequences. If it's something you believe in, do it now and deal with the potential institutional explanations later.
