The conclusion that emerges is that schools and education systems are, on average, not
ready to leverage the potential of technology. Gaps in the digital skills of both teachers and
students, difficulties in locating high-quality digital learning resources from among a plethora of
poor?quality ones, a lack of clarity on the learning goals, and insufficient pedagogical preparation
for blending technology meaningfully into lessons and curricula, create a wedge between
expectations and reality. If these challenges are not addressed as part of the technology plans
of schools and education ministries, technology may do more harm than good to the teacherstudent
interactions that underpin deep conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking.
...
What this shows is that the successful integration of technology in education is not so much a
matter of choosing the right device, the right amount of time to spend with it, the best software
or the right digital textbook. The key elements for success are the teachers, school leaders and
other decision makers who have the vision, and the ability, to make the connection between
students, computers and learning.
