As a researcher in Educational Technology, I’m interested in the strategic use (or lack of use) of ICT tools in educational settings, the factors that influence (positively or negatively) their strategic use by teachers (of all levels in educational systems) and in the (transformative) effects (or not) that their use…

Going to class – again! second attempt
I’m currently subscribed to take an online distance course on “Designing a New Learning Environment“, given by Professor Paul Kim from Stanford University.

Reviewing the “Wort for iPad” App

Dawkins on “social-constructionism vs. science”
I just have to quote this passage below, because I’ve been trying so many times to refer to it, when discussing socio-constructivism vs. neo-positivism, but had been unable to find it… So, this time, I will know where to find it… on my blog 🙂 Social-constructionist ‘intellectuals,’ and perhaps even…
Doug Woods on “Good Teachers Don’t Need Technology”
Doug Woods (ICT in Schools) has blogged about why he thinks that it’s inappropriate the say that “good teachers don’t need technology” and he goes into some details here: http://doug-woods.blogspot.com/2010/06/good-teachers-dont-need-technology.html I’ve tried to post a comment on his blog, but so far it didn’t appear there, so I’d like to use…
