This document discusses issues related to the use of eLearning and social media tools in vocational education. It notes a disconnect between how technology is used outside of education versus inside. Barriers like institutional firewalls and policies prevent educators from modeling latest tech uses and conducting good practices. Possible solutions include separating education networks, giving workgroups admin rights over parts of servers, and designating staff for support.
