“Pedagogy trumps technology”
The question shouldn’t be “what devices should we buy?”, the question should be, “What learning do we want to happen?”

Setting the scene
— BIll Gates
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is most important.“
”
— Nancy Kassebaum
There can be infinite uses of the computer and of new age technology, but if teachers themselves are not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work, then it fails.
