technology!
“Technology is not neutral. We don’t apply it to our
teaching in a ‘plug in and use’ approach.
Technology is philosophy. Tools embed views and
influence action.”

connecting institutions?

27. SAPO Campus The PLE Conference 8th July 2010
the motion
It seems that some people do not accept the
possibility of having a PLE that, at some extent, is
built on top of technology provided at an
institutional level.
We strongly believe that this is possible and, in
most scenarios, can be an advantage to both users
and the institution.
Do you support it or do you oppose it?
