Abstract
The topic for this dialogue group suggests that technology will change what, how, and where students will learn. Few people today disagree with the premise that technology has the potential to change fundamentally the nature of teaching and learning as we know it. The key word, however, is potential for the ultimate form in which technology will manifest itself in our lives rests with human decision-making. Without a doubt, marvelous developments in technology will continue in the years ahead thus making predictions as to the impact of technology very difficult. Even more important in determining the impact of technology, however, is the human capacity to comprehend the potentials and the dangers presented by the new technology. Technology is no better nor worse than the models that the human mind can create for its use.
