Furutorp goes digital Learning perspective Knut Illeris (2007) defines three dimensions of learning -Content -Interaction -Driving force Illeris means that teaching at schools usually starts with the content, while good learning has to start with the driving force, followed by interaction and content. Peter Gärdenfors (2010) takes us from learning to understanding and the lust of understanding. His arguments relates to Jerome Bruner: Humans have an innate desire to learn.

Inspired of “write to read” based on Arne Tragetons research: It is easier to learn to write than to read. Children's fine motor skills are not developed enough to writing texts with a pencil in preschool class and grade 1. We learn from each other.
