@simrinsingh @MollyKinder Always good to have skeptics about new tech, which is there impetus for improvement comes from.

@Calestous@mollykinder Or at least that was the view of the experts and practitioners at meet. Mobile phones, on other hand, more promising -
@simrinsingh@MollyKinder All options welcome. But development meetings have done little for development. -
@Calestous@mollykinder mostly agree. Meet was less about development policies than about deconstructing and rethinking learning outcomes -
@simrinsingh@MollyKinder Losing faith in development conferences http://bit.ly/SdAcfE -
@Calestous@mollykinder generally not a huge fan myself. This meet a bit diff, felt back in grad school deconstructing education -
@simrinsingh@MollyKinder l would love to deconstruct the impact of chalk on academic achievement :-) -
@Calestous@mollykinder haha! :) perhaps also the OSH impact on teachers?!? -
@simrinsingh@MollyKinder We have huge assessment issues in education so easy to scapegoat technology. - 3 more replies

@Calestous@mollykinder Tech is great, but not a magic bullet. inspired after a few fab days at unesco meet on future of learning post 2015 -
@simrinsingh@MollyKinder You just denied something that was never asserted. -
@Calestous@mollykinder true, but politicians often see it as a magic vote bullet, no? Here in Thailand, it's been one tablet per child -
@simrinsingh@MollyKinder That is a problem with politicians and their followers and not technology.
