"Its People, Not Programs" - Todd Whitaker

As teachers we should first recognize that some instructional strategies present a barrier for students. All students learn differently so if we want to all students to reach their individual goals we have to meet their individual needs. The only way to do this is to step away from our inclination to lecture in the classroom and move toward innovative and creative teaching. One way to do this is through the incorporation of web 2.0 technology.
Technology is so important in the world we live in now. So we don't want to deprive students from this, and just simply have them read from textbooks. We want to use technology in the classroom for the benefit of the students. There are several inquiry-based websites and other practical tools to use in the classroom.
However, we can have all of this technology and all of these programs but if schools don't have good teachers who can use these tools creatively then we are depriving our students from the best education we can give them. We need to be dynamic and innovative teachers, who are open to changes.
