I agree that, as amazing and industry-changing as technologies seem to always be, the role of teacher seems to always maintain it's value. My hope is that e-learning technologies can increase the pace at which students can quickly grasp knowledge, paving the way for teachers to take students deeper.

When it comes to technology and teaching it seems the more things change the more they stay the same. Technologies continue to wow us each year and yet what makes a great teacher is something quite constant ---someone who is honest, truly caring, who knows their subject, but is still interested in discovering it.
