I read her post and I completely agree. Technology should be an addition to great teaching not necessarily a tool that provides great teaching. Teachers should never depend on technology to do the work for them in the classroom but should use technology to make their subject matter peek the interest of their students because let's face it every 21st century student is intrigued by technology whether its for entertainment or communication purposes.
I also agree with what she said about technology only being as innovative as the teacher using it. I have seen it happen..technology can be fun and intersting, or it can be bore you to tears. It has been my experience as an observer that if a teacher chooses to include the student when using fun and inoovative technology (i.e. blogging about lessons, smart board example problems, game powerpoints, etc) then the teacher commands the attention of the students through pure interest and involvement and therefore has more sucess on test scores and papers etc.
