Learning should always come before technology. Many teachers welcome the idea of bringing new technology into the classroom.

It follows that the tools and technologies you use for learning are those you have selected to use because you are (or should be) comfortable with them, personally. These tools, services and technologies become a part of your personal learning environment or PLE. The PLE is an approach rather than a technology.

Keeping employees trained in technology is a challenge. You could have them sit through endless training sessions only to have them forget 95% of what they “learned” or you could give them endless paper or PDF job aids to have to hunt through. It will lead to a better learning experience all around.
