Abstract
In this paper, the author argues that technology use in education has focused on
combating instructional problems and inefficiencies. While technology use for
such purposes is viable and important, the author proposes that practitioners and
researchers in field utilize emerging technologies as a means to provide
opportunities for personally relevant and meaningful transformation. The author
discusses strategies for providing such opportunities and presents examples of
potentially transformative learning activities and environments. The paper
concludes with caveats regarding the pursuit of transformation in technologyenhanced
learning environments.
