Teacher: Once I was asked the question: Is there any conflict 
between formal education and new trends? Well, there is, 
definitely. My PhD dissertation was about teachers feeling 
very lonely because in formal education you’re very limited. I 
mean, the whole thing limits you, both teacher and students, 
but also the students, because you’re forced to do things in a 
certain way.
Actually, I did my PhD almost fully online and I learnt a lot 
about learning with the aid of technology because it really 
does open a lot of opportunities for you. I became open to 
the environment I was working in, and I was working in a 
blended learning format. I still teach. (I’ve been teaching for 
30 years already – English as a foreign language.) And, er, I 
teach other things these days; I teach Moodle around the 
world, and I teach about technology around the world. But 
if I take my little school, I would say I’m quite a rebel. Even 
now nobody uses technology in my school. Ah, it’s not used 
very extensively around the globe either. Well, there are a 
lot of teachers around the world, English language teachers 
in particular, who use technology, but in some cases their 
universities still do not approve. So, actually, we’re talking 
about, ah, quite an amazing fact: 20 years have passed but 
nothing has changed! Technology is there, it’s used, but it is 
not yet fully accepted.
