Most of the technical applications designed to support learning have
been based on traditional theories of learning and the assumption has been
that students learn best from rather than with technology.
With technology - with new interactive media
In the with approach the technical applications are students' tools for
selecting and collecting information, for analysing the world, organising,
interpreting and constructing knowledge, and for representing to others what they know.
New media as a cognitive tool
When the applications strengthen the students intrinsic ambition to understand we may
call them cognitive tools. (Reeves 1997)
