Microsoft Mouse Mischief, hope or hype?

Microsoft Mouse Mischief, is introduced to developing countries, for solving the accessibility problem of the rural students. It seems like an extension of PPT, with the multi mouse control from each student in class. It seems to be a good technology in education, for several reasons.First, the software could reach larger audience. Second, teachers don't need to be there. It is good for rural area where it is hard to get good tutorial resource. Third, it is not expensive so that many classes could afford it. Last but not least, it fully engages students in the class which to some extend change the incentives and class designs in some countries. you could see the introduction video in http://culturalbytes.com/post/340553958/microsoftmischief This is related to the topic of the future of social innovation in educational area. Because I completely agreed with Thomas Vander Ark that there is huge need for high-tech in educational area. " Educational technology is more than 10 years behind where it should be." However, education is a sensitive area related with human beings. It has something to do with one person's psychology and future life in his study life. If using technology inappropriately, there will be more and more bad apples in the society. Mischief might bring more and more access, more information, more knowledge to the rural students, but is this the only thing they need? I don't think so. I am afraid technology might deprived the traditional way of teaching which might cultivate their confidence and wisdom. But the golden rule is "It depends." To what extent we use it is the boundary of drug and poison. To sum up, high-tech, namely remote education, educational technology is the future trend for developing countries to address their need of access to information and teachers. But the model of how to use it properly is my question. Do we have some proper benchmarks in this field?
