take computers out of classrooms, or, Just teach better

Interesting article on chronicle.com about a dean removing computers from classrooms. Actually, he just wants teachers to stop using boring powerpoint presentations. He says, put the powerpoint online beforehand, quiz students to make them read it, then use actual class time for discussions. Seems pretty fair.
