(This is a text summary of the He Said She Said podcast from March 21, 2006. This is a weekly podcast that deals with a wide range of topics on Education and Educational Technology. The show’s host is Rob Reynolds and he is joined by Susan Smith Nash. A new He Said She Said podcast is available every week on Xplana Radio.)
In this podcast, Rob and Susan continue their discussions about introducing creativity in the classroom. As context, Rob references a student complaint about polling devices, or clickers, that have become popular in large classes on many campuses. He goes on to say that such technology, while ostensibly making the classroom more interactive, really only serves to make good teachers better. The devices have little or no effect on those whose teaching style is not already interactive. Susan offers up some great examples of how technology can be used positively and make a difference in teaching and connecting, but also warns that technology won’t fix education. Only dedicated teachers can do that.
