Learning Technologies: Design & Applications

RE: All the gear & no ideas

That’s a good one: pet peeve… “all the gear and no ideas“… go figure!

From another perspective… I guess that sometimes the conditions, such as:

• numbers of students in classes;
• complex & inhibitive administrative processes;
• lack of tech help;
• aversion to risk (ie: encouraged theoretically, but not practically);
• poor support of initiative and innovation…

… may all be reasons why teachers with “the gear” experience challenges when trying to implement ideas…
