I honestly didn't care much for this final chapter. It felt almost as if the author was stating that you have to make everything strictly electronic and online otherwise you will completely lose your classroom and I don't feel that that is so. While I like his ideas of having the students work put online for others to see and giving the students a feeling of ownership over their work, I do not feel that all of the work that is done is always something that necessarily needs to be shared. I do not believe that all work needs to be done online and shared and some work can still be done on paper and ultimately thrown away in the end. I for one do not feel the need to do a math assignment online and post it for the world to see, nor do I have the desire to look at others math work online. I just feel that the author goes a little overboard with his ideals in this chapter.
In the epilogue I think it shows that you can do a lot on computers in a short amount of time. Computers are definitely efficient time savers. I like how the author goes about exploring all the different ways the teacher was going to share different information with students and parents and that made me think about the different ways that I could share with my students parents in an efficient manner.
