Can a computer say, let's take an intelligent deviation from the topic. I let the students take the class in different directions as long as it's close to what they ought to be thinking about. Klaus noted that technology can be useful in getting certain points across, a video of an operation for example, or an engineer explaining the use of a piece of equipment. Klaus does racewaking where one foot must always be on the ground and the knee must lock. You must follow these rules, and you must practice so the tools will work for you.
Technology is a tool as well.
He encourages his students to do the calculations manually first so that they understand the programs before they use them. Klaus was in Australia at a conference and sat in on a high tech presentation. Afterward, he asked a colleague what he thought the presentation was about. If you are the presenter, you have to be watching the audience to see if the they are getting the point. Hiroshi said he is comfortable to some degree in using technology in his teaching but remains skeptical of it as well.
