[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I have to agree with those who value the intelligence and passion of the instructor over technology.  Sure, smartboards and iPads are great supplemental resources,  and I scour the Internet  to find the perfect lesson plans and materials.  But give me a great teacher and stapled books any day over the fanciest technology.  [/quote]

No one is questioning the value of the instructor. But to dismiss the role of technology in the classroom the way the pp did is nonsensical. The point I make is I'd prefer a great teacher instructing child how to write a book on an iPad to a great teacher still doing stapled books. The false equivalency here is that somehow the schools that integrate technology don't have great teachers and there's some inherent virtue in the luddite schools. It may make pp feel better about her current circumstance to assert such nonsense, but it's simply not true. For purposes of this discussion we can have a baseline assumption of instructor quality.
