Any technology tends to
create a new human
environment...
Technological environments
are not merely passive
containers of people but are
active processes that
reshape people and other
technologies alike.
M. Mcluhan, 1962

• An historical view
• The web is not the Internet
• Disruption
• Network (of knowledge)
• The web ~ emergent practices, ideas,
businesses, services
• Demand for new laws (Copyright, copyleft,
etc.)
• Contradiction: Orwell (fear) or Huxley
(pleasure); good vs bad
Technology: transformation of the
medium
Is it transforming practices?
Is it transforming pedagogies?
(e-)pedagogies?
Is there such thing?

“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy
of progressive education which is sounder
than its emphasis upon the importance of
the participation of the learner in the
formation of the purposes which direct his
[sic] activities in the learning process, just as
there is no defect in traditional education
greater than its failure to secure the active
cooperation of the pupil in construction of
the purposes involved in his studying.”
John Dewey, 1938,
Experience and Education
“(…) transforming transfers of
information into a ‘real act of
knowing” (Paulo Freire)
What are
real acts of knowing
“…unhampered participation in a meaningful setting.
Most people learn best by being "with it".”
~ Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society

Teacher preparation should go
beyond the technical preparation of
teachers and be rooted in the ethical
formation both of selves and of
history. ~ Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of

Deep Learning Surface Learning
Examining new facts and ideas critically, and
tying them into existing cognitive structures and
making numerous links between ideas
Accepting new facts and ideas uncritically and
attempting to store them as isolated,
unconnected, items
Relates previous knowledge to new
knowledge (transfer)  looking for meaning
Focus on unrelated parts of the task.
Information is simply memorised; not
understood and appropriated for personal
meaning
Relates theoretical ideas to everyday
experience
Facts and concepts are associated
unreflectively
Relates and distinguishes evidence and
argument from assumptions
Principles are not distinguished from
examples
Organises and structures content into
coherent whole
Task is treated as an external imposition
Emphasis is internal, from within the student Emphasis is external, from demands of
assessment
