Please, don't throw out the baby and the water in one stroke. While it's true that the industrial model of education is showing it's age, it's a fact that the quest for true learning as you call it has been going on in many schools around the world even before the pervasive use of the modern technologies. What we need to do is get the best of both paradigms and never forget that technology by itself won't solve the need for meaningful learning (which, I believe, is a better term than true learning).
