Pedagogy and technology

A historical perspective

For more than 25 years I been involved in the use of information technology in education and learning. My role has been that of a producer, author of books on program design, consultant and teacher. Most of this time I have had my daily employment as a teacher in computer science. This has given me two perspectives on the the development, a technological and a pedagogical. My education and training is within the technological domain and my pedagogical reasoning is based on experience.

It is my hope that this article may provoke better schooled pedagogues to reflect and comment on the topic of the mutual influence of technology on pedagogy.
