E-learning pedagogy

“Schools should explore not only how ICT can supplement traditional ways of teaching but also how it can open up new and different ways of learning”

National Curriculum p36

“The people to be worried about are those in a digital age but who are not learning these sophisticated information gathering and information-processing skills, or creating things of their own base on what they learn and sharing it with others.”Palfrey, J. and Gasser, U., p. 241 (New York, 2008)
