“We do not think anymore of the
spectacle of printing every time we
read a book, the phenomenon of TV
every time we watch a movie, or the
miracle of the telephone every time we
make a call.
The ultimate success of ICTs for
learning will be attained when we stop
marveling about the ICTs and apply our
minds and emotions to the wonders of
learning.”
