Abstract: In Anson’s article, he discusses the future of technological innovation in the classroom and the changing (possibly disappearing) role of the teacher in the face of these innovations. Anson considers how technology has enhanced the student-learning environment by making it more accessible as personal learning based software and high-speed availability continue to guide student learning. With new technologies comes the “chance to expand on the idea of individualized learning,” through distance learning, and independent internet courses, yet these course seem to confront and challenge the ideological foundations of traditional teacher pedagogy. Anson concludes by stating that teachers need to be aware and even critical of new technology so that they may examine innovations in the light of its effect “on our students’ learning and the conditions of our teaching.”
