Colleagues may be interested in this item from today's Globe & Mail:

Some interesting comments about digitization initiatives, a younger 
generation that isn't used to reading cursive writing, and human

"Teachers who have participated in the program say toolkits and pdf 
files are a poor substitute for the experienced volunteers and staff at 
the Learning Centre."
