Creative teaching and learning

I would agree with the writer's point of view, ultimately it is not technology that be a driving force in the transformation of education, higher education, rather it is the teacher, a well trained and skilled teacher who is the driving force behind transformation. It makes commmercial sense for business houses to invest more on technology rather than on the training of a skilled workforce especially when they begin to suffer from high levels of attrition. We have moved from back boards to green boards and on to white boards, but whether this has made a significant  to pedagogy is debatable. I have known of more cases of misuse of technology than postitive use, say in cases when more movies are shown in class than is requiered, and cases where powerpoints are merely a replacement for class lecture notes! One needs to see whether it is technology that will help the education industry move out of a state of stasis or it is the humble human factor, the teacher!
