Summary/Abstract: Who can be called a „bad teacher”? Only a handful of education-researchers dare to ask this question in their scientific works. In the present context, when pedagogy is increasingly trying to find and define itself in the spell of measurements regarding the efficiency of education, the intensive search for a definition of a “good teacher” should be under way. Still, frameworks developed to measure and later develop digital competences within the information society dominate the field of education. In our study, we point out that the conscious and well-chosen use of infocommunication technologies in education only strengthens the skills of a “„good teacher”, at the same time providing “bad teachers” with opportunities for professional development. There has been no such opportunity before, because it is linked to a paradigm shift that rearranges the previous relationships and waves across the territory of education. Still, we claim that the use of technology alone is not an end in itself, but merely a tool.
