This sketch from the always excellent Gaping Void got me thinking, are there some teachers you shouldn’t bother pushing even the best technology at?

Pushing technology into classrooms to benefit teaching and learning will only result in some people drawing back through nonchalance or skepticism. Those of us who are interested in it need also to show that it works , that it is effective and that it can help to raise standards.
I guess it’s the same as any ‘different’ way of teaching, if you can’t show that it works in your own teaching, you’re not going to get far!
