Go read Jeff Utecht's contribution to NextGen Teachers:I don’t care if you have 20 computers in a classroom or 20 pencils. They can not do or change education without the instructor understanding what can be done with the tool they have been given. The computer is... a new tool. You can give one to every child in your school, but if the instructor does not know what the tool can and can not do, how can you ensure that the tool will be used, used properly, and used to it’s fullest extent?

The computer is just hardware, I don’t care if it is branded Apple, Dell, HP, IBM, or Lenovo. It will not revolutionize education…that’s what educators are for.

I guess folks might argue over the "that's what educators are for" bit: some might say educators are supposed to just transmit the information and make sure the kids learn it, not revolutionize anything, but that's for another time.
