The version in my RSS feed doesn't have the question mark in the title, which may reflect shifting thinking after publication of this summary of a meeting of the M25 Learning Technology Group in London discussing "technologies that aren't obviously or 'officially' ed-tech, but nonetheless are being adopted for teaching and learning." There's a good list of examples, including uses of Kahoot, Microsoft Teams, Wheel Decide, and Slack, and the launch of the IMPLEMnT website (blog posts here) to document case studies. That said, the examples illustrate the distinction between instructional technology, which includes technology used in the classroom, and e-learning (or online learning), which contemplates a strictly online approach, and sometimes needs more support for interactivity than these technologies provide.
