Our challenge is to find ways of using the Internet and World Wide Web as a mechanism for learning for understanding, and as a mechanism for “seeing things,” not just as a highway system for haphazard travel … To be used in a meaningful way, we need to embed the use of this tool into a context; our teachers must guide its use and provide direction to set the stage for deep learning, and not for the gathering of disjointed information.
Predictor: Rose, Kimberly
Prediction, in context:Kimberly Rose made the following statement in a research presentation at INET ’95, the Internet Society’s 1995 International Networking Conference, in Honolulu, Hawaii, June 27-30 1995.

Rose remarks: ”The Web can be a fantastic tool for constructivist learning. It can be used as a means to gain understanding into complex systems and ideas … Our challenge is to find ways of using the Internet and World Wide Web as a mechanism for learning for understanding, and as a mechanism for ‘seeing things,’ not just as a highway system for haphazard travel … To be used in a meaningful way, we need to embed the use of this tool into a context; our teachers must guide its use and provide direction to set the stage for deep learning, and not for the gathering of disjointed information.”
