By 1876 modern science had developed so far that the world was about ready to begin an extensive utilization of new knowledge it had produced. Gradually men had come to realize that the days of haphazard invention as a means of progress were coming to an end.

We are making progress slowly in the school of experience.

There are a large number of other recommendations suggesting that there is widespread hope that technology will improve many aspects of teaching and learning.

Popular myth argues that “good teachers are born, not made” yet the premise of faculty development is that teachers can improve.

Specifically, we are interested in the role reflection plays in this process of learning from successes

Nearly as soon as it began, Web and tech industry commentators were proclaiming that ‘‘podcasting is dead’ …Yet, podcasting never died.

Anniversaries are occasions for reflection, and this is also the purpose of this paper. 

With its universitisation, teacher education has found itself in a dilemma between two equally important functions: the traditional function of educating future teachers and the new academic, especially research, function.
