lisa I am a cognitive scientist, psychologist, and online learning specialist with an interest in taekwon-do, web stuff, cycling, indoor soccer and sundry other things. This is my blog home - it is pretty messy and disorganised, a bit like my real home. Since I don't write posts regularly, I have moved the posts to the sidebar under "Random Thoughts" and shifted my work-based stuff to the main home page.

(Critical) history of ICT in education – and where we are heading?

(Critical) history of ICT in education – and where we are heading? – FLOSSE Posse

“Why is the impact of technology on the way we learn so marginal, even though millions of dollars and euros has been spent on to develop educational computer technology? Could it be that there has been some principle conceptual bias and all the minor changes made in to it do not help much, as the principle is wrong?

With an analogy: if you are sailing somewhere in equator and take a course by mistake to south, even that you should go north, it does not help much if you every year fix your course 5 degrees. You will still end-up to Antarctica.”

I particularly like the Analogy :-)
