I agree with the fact that education has to catch up in terms of using technology in ways to enhance student learning. I have no problem in using industry as a resource. Our students may also serve as a strong resource and are more readily available. Many of my students are very savy with technology. We've taken some tiny baby steps where students share their tech expertise with me and the rest of the class. I've found students very excited to help - they both love the tech as well as sharing their expertise with me and their peers. A sort of role reversal that we both like.
