Actually I am more concerned that many teachers attitudes to change, both technological and pedagogical, are making their students obsolete.
The levels of disengagement from school I see from my son and his friends is frightening, as is the apparent dumbing down and anti-creativity that his school promotes without realising it - that is, the pedagogical practices in that school and all the others in this area seem deeply embedded, resistant to any reflective thinking or technological change.
Are you concerned that technology could make educators obsolete?
