Vance Stevens gave a presentation on technogogy, which is the convergence of technology, pedagogy, and content to foster learning. He discussed how computers bring people together and can be transformative for learning when used creatively. However, the transformative nature of technogogy is often not understood until it is directly experienced. Stevens provided examples of digital literacies and tools that can be used to connect and collaborate, and emphasized that technologies only become transformative when integrated into normal workflows.

- 3. Elucidating the Ineffable It's because computers are anything but isolating, because they bring people together in innumerable modalities, that they are transformative in learning. Yet …this is not widely accepted as fact due to the ineffable nature of the process. Technogogy has to be experienced to be understood, and many simply do not grant themselves the opportunity to experience it; therefore they never achieve that aha! moment.
