Think about this...

If learning in our schools involves no more than fact/data transmission, then, as teachers, should we not be very worried about the new technologies and media (internet, eLearning, Facebook, YouTube etc), since they excel at that and cost much less than teachers do?  The good news is that the excellent teacher cannot be replaced by technology because the structured and skilled facilitation of learning will always belong in the hands of the creative, inspired, wise, self-reflecting, peer-collaborating, learner-centred teacher, who him/her-self is, first and foremost, always learning.
