Is technology panacea?Technology is a medium to achieve our goals. It is up to us to use it in a creative and
beneficial way. It cannot substitute the teacher. It can promote autonomous learning and
creativity. It can give learners a sense of achievement. It can strengthen bonds between the teacher
and the learners.Above all, it is there to facilitate and NOT to
hinder our teaching.
