I would have chosen differently had you not framed the question in terms of 30 years. If you asked what would be the most important for the next 30 years I would say web 2.0.

If my classroom were on fire, I would grab the Kurzweil first.

@ Michael that is interesting, we should probably do a follow up poll specific to web 2.0 tools. Thanks for voting!

It is too hard to pick just once since they overlap in a variety of ways.
You can’t get to the first one without the last one.
The first one and the fourth are are the same — only difference is location.
And the second and third make all the rest more accessible and easy to use.
So — for me……have to be all of the above if we say “from the last 30 years.”
Now if you say in the NEXT 30 years — hands down, I think #2 is going to change us in ways we cannot even imagine yet.

I think the graphing calculator is the single most effective tool since you picked the last 30 years and it probably belongs with portable items but you didn’t list it.
But then I think math/science is the most important topics to not only teach but teach in a way with technology.

It was a difficult choice for me, but I selected Web 2.0 tools. Maybe partly because I am focusing on incorporating many of those tools into to my curriculum. However, I also think it has to do with the way my students interact with the material and each other using 2.0 tools. THey seem to be thinking more deeply and impersing themselves in the work.

A classroom, much less MY life without email or any internet tools! Need I say more?

It is difficult, even impossible, to choose, they are all important, I cannot isolate one from another. We use all of these, very powerfully, to teach and to learn.
