Scott McLeod always gets me thinking... "Low ability teachers, low ability students?"
I tend to agree with his post and the direction it takes. The better teachers for me have always been the ones who were the most intelligent.
Now... the reason his post resonated with me the most is that I always tend to equate discussions like this with technology in the classroom. Education is now at a point where teachers must use technology well to be a good teacher! Those teachers who are comfortable with technology and use it transparently tend to teach our students better than those who don't!
Yes... this is my opinion and I am sticking to it...
