"New and stirring things are belittled because if
they are not belittled, the humiliating question
arises, 'Why then are you not taking part in
them?' " - H. G. Wells
Technology is not a subject to be belittled, it
is here with us and we must embrace technology
into our lives and the lives of our students.
