It only works when we speak the same language. It only works wells when we speak this language fluently. In this brave new world amongst students and educators there are many who are ignorant of the digital world beyond their TV and phone. It is a switch, messaging service, photo booth and catalogue. Learning online requires a different language and mindset. Most lack this. It is challenging to have students who are fluent where the tutor hides, ignores and stumbles. It is odd where the worst student is not as bad as the worst tutor. The educator has had every opportunity to grasp the tools and language. Do they learn together?

Too many educators stick with their cart, or walk ... backwards clutching handouts and a reading list.
