Lesson 2
Module 3
Teachers do use technology. They use Facebook, they use 
different web tools – blogs, wikis and so on. But they don’t 
think of it as an instrument that could enhance learning. 
Students similarly, you know they learn all the time, but they 
do not really connect to the teachers or other students. They 
do need to make that connection and see that they can use 
technology not only for entertainment and fun, but also as a 
tool that can give them the opportunity to learn with others, 
for example by using a forum as a place to exchange ideas. 
Teachers can and should facilitate that, but it doesn’t seem to 
be happening at the rate that I would like to see it happening. 
Formal education is still limiting learning opportunities, and 
technology is opening things up. So the two don’t seem to 
work together. Hard for me.
