Once upon a time, there was a teacher named 

Miss Jane.

Miss Jane would stand up the front of the 

classroom and talk all day.

“Today we will be looking at the history of 

Australian Prime Ministers… blah, blah, blah, 

blah.”

All the children in Miss Jane’s class, would sit silently at 

their desks, mutely reading from their textbooks and 

writing in their workbooks.

“This work is so boring!” the children would complain. 

“We wish we could use the computers and the internet. 

That would be a much more interesting activity!”

“Quiet now!” Miss Jane would crossly admonish. “Your 

pointless prattling is very distracting. Please continue 

reading your textbooks quietly. I do not want to hear 

anymore talking.”

The children solemnly returned to reading.

It wasn’t that Miss Jane didn’t like discussion or 

collaboration in the classroom, or that she didn’t 

think the use of technology such as computers and 

the internet would make her lessons more 

engaging, but rather, Miss Jane was unsure and 

afraid of incorporating these learning strategies 

into her teaching.
