Tech & Schools - it's a tool

I love that comment "Technology is just a tool, not an end in itself. It will never replace good teaching."
I think, we need to keep in mind that there is a balance that needs to be forged between technology and teaching.


North Point High School for Science, Technology and Industry in Waldorf went with ceiling-mounted LCD projectors but nixed the idea of laptops for all students. "Our philosophy is to have whatever technology our teachers want to do their jobs better available to them," Principal Kim Hill told me. "Technology is just a tool, not an end in itself. It will never replace good teaching."
