Thoughts on Technology and Education
In so many ways, technology is shaping and changing learning because it is shaping and changing society as a whole.
In 2000, the relative infancy of computer technology influence, John Seely Brown was suggesting:
"...learning requires immersion in a community of practice, enculturation in its ways of seeing, interpreting, and acting.

A lot of our know-how or knowing comes into being through participating in our community(ies) of practice."
