What We Have Learned from the Past
• Technology is no panacea for education
• Teachers usually are not technology developers
• “Technically possible” does not equal “desirable, feasible, or
inevitable”
• Technologies change faster than teachers can keep up
• Older technologies can be useful
• Teachers are more important than technology
