This post is a big part of what I have been trying to say. "When we assume each student has an inner teacher within their minds, we will stop interfering with the discovery, cultivation and trust building with that inner teacher.... When we had over the learning to the students and their inner teachers, there is no more need for putting over-powering, controlling, authoritative and silencing instructors in the learners' faces." And so on. Great stuff. And, if you actually believe what Haskins writes here (as I do) you realize that your approach to educational techn ology can't be business as usual, can't be some version as 'technology in the classroom' or 'technology in the curriculum'.
