Put some metaphors in here 

3. E-learning and pedagogy
Information and communication technology (ICT) has a major impact on the
world in which young people live. Similarly, e-learning (that is, learning
supported by or facilitated by ICT) has considerable potential to support the
teaching approaches outlined in the above section.
For instance, e-learning may:
• assist the making of connections by enabling students to enter and explore
new learning environments, overcoming barriers of distance and time;
• facilitate shared learning by enabling students to join or create communities
of learners that extend well beyond the classroom;
• assist in the creation of supportive learning environments by offering
resources that take account of individual, cultural, or developmental differences;
• enhance opportunities to learn by offering students virtual experiences and
tools that save them time, allowing them to take their learning further.
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.

Being able to communicate through different
mediums leads us on a fascinating voyage.
The destination is never fully known or
understood, but the adventure is in the getting
there.

something with
technology…”

lenses & light on the
computer was fun…”
“I liked getting to go out
of the normal classroom
to do it”
“I felt like I had more
control over what I was
doing”
