  • As adults we look at an empty cardboard box and see it as a storage
    device. Somewhere to put 'stuff'. As children we looked at that same
    cardboard box and saw a plane. A car. A train. An adventure waiting to
    happen. What happened to our own creativity? It seems like we get
    confronted by a 'virtual learning environment' and think that's enough.
    The learning will happen regardless of the effort we put into it.
    Wrong! So, so wrong! When eLearning works, it's an amazing,
    interesting, vibrant, evolving, engaging, rich space. When it's just a
    shell. A place to download PowerPoints... boy oh boy is it a sad bag.
