- 5. I am privileged in my role that I get a chance to travel the world and visit many countries. Almost everywhere I go I am either shown something transformative, or I am asked the question: Where or what have you seen that is transforming education? And in most part, the question is underpinned by a curiosity about how technology in particular, and often Microsoft technology is having a transformative effect. It is never an easy question to answer. In many ways we are still a long way from transformation. In many ways, access to technology has been part of the problem, and not only in the simplistic view that lack of technology is holding us back. Often, in places where there is ubiquitous access to technology, to devices, to services etc., it can be the dependence or blind faith in technology that sometimes holds us back. Technology can be a double-edged sword… Drivers of technology in the classroom Trends impacting teaching and learning
