My eWorld

eTeacher, eLearner, eDesigner -- Whatever I do seems to have an "e" in front of it. Already that feels retro. I wonder whether, with the advent of the printing press, tutors who used textbooks were called pTutors. A good teacher uses the tools at hand that are best suited to the situation, whether it is conversation illustrated with a stick drawing in the sand or a MOOC going out a hundred thousand eager learners. At what point can we take the technology for granted and move on with the essentials?
