In reply to Harold Jarche » A few good books.

Understanding technologyI'm not sure if "step-by-step training" would be the natural result of trying to increase technology understanding. I'm not young, and learned this stuff by myself because I needed to. Maybe the academic environment doesn't put much demand on teachers to understand the uses and effects of technology. Most classrooms don't even have telephones.

But then again it's not really about technology, it's about being learner-centred. If you're concerned about the learners, you'll take the time to figure out the technology, n'est-ce pas?

[PS: I'll look into that name field issue with Drupal. I do like the search function and the taxonomy though.]
