This post was inspired by Carla R.’s comment on my first one. Carla wondered if teachers in my area have problems with technology. The sad situation is that many of the teachers in my town, as I come from a small, not very advanced town, are reluctant to use technology in their classes in any way. They think that it’s a luxury beyond thier grip or their students’ realization. A very few English teachers would care to explore and learn about educational technology. This is mostly the case in government run schools.

The fact that most schools do not have advanced computer labs adds to the problem. Even if the labs are available, they are in the custory of narrow-minded technicians who see technology as a brooch to ornament the school when a high stake visitor comes.

 So, it’s a multi-layered problem. Wanna hear your say here.
