5. WEB The experience of learning can be compared with PLATO´S ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE . Plato sums up his views in an image of ignorant humanity, trapped in the depths and not even aware of its own limited perspective. Only some individuals escape from the limitations of that cave and, through a long, tortuous intellectual journey, discover a true reality .

6. WEB CHOICE We could also find a parallel situation with the experience of getting lost on the world wide WEB. WEB is a rhizomatic system. It grows in all directions with no hierarchies. All travellers have experienced the disorientation of finding themselves in a strange location, between the familiar and the unknown. Then, they wonder “Where am I?” “Why am I here?” The key element underlying this constellation of CHOICES is the LINK. The link represents a decision, a CHOICE by the user to leave the known content of a page to an unknown page. LINK

7. TEACHER´S TASK TEACHER´S TASK To help the student who is lost to find his way. DOUBT (certainty of misconceptions) FROM to certainty of TRUE KNOWLEDGE THROUGH REAL QUESTIONS

8. REAL QUESTIONS Questions that puzzle Questions that confuse Questions that interest Questions that move the learner to seek new undestandings
