Abstract
This collection is both highly accessible and provides a wide variety of perspectives on teaching in digital environments and using technology. Based on the very real experiences of the contributors, it presents a balanced view of both successes and failures in creating sustainable ecologies. This is not a how-to manual, but rather a catalogue of experience and insight, designed to foster discussion about how the technologies we currently use can be sustained and about what we need to consider when implementing new technologies we intend to use long term. The advice and experiences the writers do offer are practical and steeped in the very real successes and failures of their attempts to create sustainable digital ecologies. The editors and many of the contributors acknowledge that both ecology and sustainability are local issues, and that although there are commonalities between our experiences, no two are identical. Thus, they would be remiss to promote one methodology for sustainability, but are much better served to offer options that can be considered, critiqued, and altered to fit a given technological ecology.
