relearning learning

If we start with knowledge and accept it’s not something we hold and carry around but something we access contextually we have knowing, not knowledge. We are knowing in different situations, knowing more in some contexts than others. If we expand knowing to learning and school, learning is something we are always doing, school is simply one context where learning occurs. So, teaching is making meaning in specific contexts with certain content. So what happens when we introduce technology to this equation. We clearly have individuals who are technophobic, some event has caused them to look at computers in a very specific, very negative way. How do we get them to look at technology situations, and computer situations as learning situations. The goal of teachers is not to teach and model learning, it’s something we always already do, the goal is to contextualize learning. How do you contextualize computer learning (what are commonly referred to as skills, but since we can’t carry knowledge, we can’t have skills, just ways of accessing knowing in context). How do we teach technophobes to look at computer usage as something like what we already do in everyday life? Are old dogs really less apt to learn new tricks, or are they simply out of practice? If they are out of practice then again, how do teachers demonstrating learning on the computer so students can mimic or scaffold to move away from their technophobia? Essentially, how do we introduce new contexts to the technology content so the learning associations can be rebuilt in a positive way? How do we teach teachers to approach learning in this way?
