Die neuen Möglichkeiten, die IuK-Techniken für Lehr-/Lernprozesse bieten, können nur dann ausgeschöpft werden, wenn sich ihr Einsatz an pädagogisch-didaktischen Überlegungen orientiert.

Die bisherigen Erfahrungen mit multimedialen Bildungsmedien in Schule und Unterricht lassen erkennen, dass diese dann und nur dann als hilfreich, effektiv und motivierend empfunden werden, wenn sie just den Konzeptionskriterien entsprechen, die auch schon für die traditionellen Bildungsmedien galten.

Our investigation of the Birmingham OLPC program suggests that the technocentrist approach is counterproductive and that any educational reform effort with digital media needs to be grounded in solid curricular and pedagogical foundations, include requisite social and technical support, and be carried out with detailed planning, monitoring, and evaluation. As school districts strive to increase access to and use of digital media in schools, they will do well to bear in mind these lessons from Birmingham OLPC.

You don't need technology to learn science and math. You just absolutely don't need it. What you need to have are the right conditions. In music, if you've got the right conditions and you've got music happening, then the instruments amplify what you've got like mad. The best thing a teacher can do is to set up the best conditions for each kid to learn. Once you have that, then the computer can help immeasurably. Conversely, just putting computers in the schools without creating a rich learning environment is useless -- worse than useless, because it's a red herring. There's a sense something good is happening, when nothing real is happening at all. [http://www.honco.net/os/kay.html]
