We have become a technology mediated society and education is at the forefront of the efforts to connect and continue. They are mainly high quality, focused and sought after resources, but there is still (and never will be) a substitute for empathetic, knowledgeable teaching input. Technology will not replace you.

In my most recent post I outlined the first part of the SAMR model , which I used as a lens to explore the integration of new technologies into education. The first two levels, substitution and augmentation are often referred to as low levels of technology integration, in as much as they do not substantially impact upon or transform pedagogy.

The trick is not to rely on new technology. Sometimes technology can be used to support this process of maintaining curiosity. Some of the best learning projects I have seen have been wide ranging, open to multiple interpretations, complex and problematic, and have involved technology of some kind to support the process.

Teacher beliefs about pedagogy are central to the successful integration of new technologies into schools. The extent to which they see technology skills as relevant and valuable directly relates to the extent to which these skills are practised and applied in their work. New technology really has to be shown to be relevant and useful.
