Schools are built by good teachers technology and other innovations comes next.
Also most schools make mistake like OLPC, giving emphasis on technological advances not on content and teaching. Many schools focus on technology still trying to fit old content and methodology instead of looking at good old methodology with a new way of delivery and create some new one’s along the way.
Also in general teaching is not seen as lucrative career, so many deserving people who understand the content and technology and how to apply it effectively don’t take teaching as career.
Technology can be a great enabler if deployed and used correctly. But it’s not a magic wand which will automatically transform the learning just by waving it.
Also technology is a dual edged sword given modern social media and online content, so instead of learning it might make students waste more time on unnecessary things.
Learning requires focus and concentration and I think sometimes traditional teaching methods might be more effective, so probably need a hybrid approach to deploying technology for learning and education.
