Why does Learning have to be boring?

Why don’t developers and educators try to make learning more true to the learners’ world? If we spend so much time on social networks, blogs, wikis, video and image sharing websites, and many others, why can’t we use these tools in the learning process? The world has changed, learners have changed. Let’s create learning experiencecs that reflect the learners’ real lives. Let’s incorporate tools that they already love and use. Let’s motivate them and help them be more productive useing tools they already are used to in their everyday lives! Web 2.0 is a reality. Interaction, collaboration, collective knowledge: they are all part of this dynamic Web. So, let’s use this to our advantage, to engage our learners an create REAL learning that they enjoy. What a better thing for learning: having fun at the same time!
