I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. John Steinbeck

“Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.” –Bill Gates
