resents the TED hype that surround Mitra and Negroponte, as it distract from the necessity of training teachers and being sensitive to the context and culture into which technology is placed.

Like Socrates, he believed in the power of questioning as a method of teaching and most of his writing is in the form of ‘dialogue’.
-
learners must learn to think for themselves through dialogue.
-
the teacher should be an intellectual midwife to people’s own thoughts is his great educational principle.
-
he was among the first to recognise that, in terms of learning, ideas are best generated from the learner in terms of understanding and retention.
-
Learning as a social activity pursued through dialogue
-
for certain types of learning, questioning and dialogue allows the learner to generate their own ideas and conclusions, rather than be spoon-fed.
-
The Socratic method, although quoted widely, is often no more than a teacher using the occasional open or inductive question.
-
It led to severe, selective streaming, cast doubt on the use of literature, poetry and drama and put an undue emphasis on abstract, academic knowledge at the expense of the vocational.
-
On the other hand, it led to rigour in mathematics and reason, laying the foundations for The Academy, the forerunner of the modern University.
-
an early conception of lifelong learning.

the primary driver for pedagogic change is something that has changed the behaviours of learners. independently of teachers, teaching and education – the internet.
-
Suddenly we had Google, then in the last ten years Facebook, Twitter, BBM, MSN Messenger, Wikipedia, YouTube, iTunes, Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox. All of these have had a profound effect on how we learn, through radical shifts in the way we find things out, communicate, collaborate, create, share or play. The internet is a pedagogic engine, changing and shaping the way we learn. In this sense, we’ve had more pedagogic change in the last 10 years than in the last 1000 years – all driven by innovation in technology.
-
Clive Shepherd believes that the new default should be ‘asynchronous learning’ (not realtime) and not the traditional live, face-to-face, synchronous (realtime) classroom course. Only after you’ve exhausted the asynchronous online options should you consider synchronous face-to-face events.
-
The challenge for every teacher is to ask themselves, ‘Is there anything I’m doing or teaching that can’t be found in Google?’
-
The growing gap between teaching practice and learning practice is acute and growing.
-
The true driver for positive, pedagogic change is the internet.

Tracey GentleYou can't go for more than 30 mins at an educational conference without hearing the phrase 'learning styles'. It's one of those fixed narratives trotted out by every teacher and educational academic in the land, without the slightest concern about whether
