Dear Kam,


You eloquently describe what I think is the optimal learning environment
whether you are using technology or not. The idea is that "students"
create a product and as they are doing that they use information and
"tools" available to them.

***I think that there would be agreement from experience that young people can
often put online a more substantial, more useful and cleverer product than
many corporations or "professionals"--to say nothing of the enthusiasm,
experience and the sharing forged in the process.


It also makes me think of why I think some teachers/educators/adults
are reluctant to use technology. They do not approach learning in this
way. They consider themselves to be the "learned" and they are there
to impart knowledge to their "students". They do not think that it is
their job to learn along with their students .... or .... take the time
to learn something new and then use it with their students.
