Technology v’s quality programmes?
Posted by: admin in Learning and Teaching, Pedagogy, School Vision, opinion, professional learninghttp://leading-learning.blogspot.com/2008/07/digital-technologyover-promised-and.html A very good post from Bruce Hammonds.
As I have said many times it is about the LEARNING, not the technology.
Poor teaching is still poor teaching, average teaching is average teaching, even with technology.
If technology becomes the focus then other, (more?) critical parts of classroom programmes and learning can be overlooked. I have seen some wonderful movies come out of classes with poor reading and literacy programmes for example! Technology is seductive …. lets not fall for it. It is not an indicator of a quality programe, but it can make good learning and teaching even better.

Hi Greg
Interesting point about good movies from classrooms with poor literacy numeracy programs. My experience is that teachers with poor programs are usually “too busy” to getting around to making a meaningful movie!
Cheers and I read and enjoy your blog
