9. Technology Doesn't Have All the
Answers
✤ Technology needs someone to manage it !
People can better identify and manage content quality
through creative and out-of-the-box solutions!
✤ Technology can't think like a teacher!
Technology can cast a broad net to filter content, lewd
images, and text, it takes a person to make good
decisions on content.!
Technology can make the teaching & learning easier, but
it can't tell you which learning material to deliver, when
to teach, and for whom/target students.!
Technology can’t identify potential of students
