Today we are facing this challenge in education, across all the sectors of learning and teaching. New methods cannot be fully explained or justified by old theories. And yet change is exactly what we face each and every day, especially if we are educators. We need new wineskins for new wine if we are going to save education.

However, these may be complexities that matter more in theory than in practice. Elements are often separated by boundaries, and these must be transgressed if blends are to be effected.

These are some of the most important things I have learnt from my 40 years working in educational technology: Technology doesn't improve teaching. You can't simply drop technology into education.

Academic roles are changing.

Post modern theories of society are often difficult to comprehend, largely due to the dense and at times inscrutable style in which post-modernist theorists write. Anyone who has tried to wade through Foucault or Derrida would attest to this.
