There is nothing wrong with any of these approaches, provided they don''t get in the way of good pedagogy. Sometimes, the technology does get in the way of learning and teaching. Or is it because you have actually sat down and worked out what problems technology will solve, and how pedagogy will be enhanced by its introduction?

You might do so by creating learning environments in which they can safely take risks and experiment, and where they can fail and learn through that failure.

In the first phase, known as survival , teachers struggle to define what they wish to achieve with the new technology, and attempt to learn how to use it effectively to support pedagogy. This suggests that the survival phase could be shortened if forethought went into the design of learning, before technology was procured.

And time and again, such beliefs are the justification for placing students into a specific style of learning so that a class can be 'managed' more effectively. It is lazy pedagogy, and the only reason I see that such beliefs persist, is that it is a convenient untruth which allows some teachers to stay within their comfort zones.
