Durff's Blog: Being Critically Literate! - 1 views

  •  
    I quite like the questions suggested in this post about being critically literate by Lisa Durff. I agree with her when she says that critical literacy should be extended to all media, not just books. Like her, I have always encouraged my students to question everything (which took a humorous -- and welcome -- turn when they started to question ME!).\n\nRead and bookmark and share this post.

High school 'to allow mobiles in classrooms to help learning' - Telegraph - 0 views

  •  
    Notre Dame High School in Sheffield, UK, is planning to allow students to bring their phones and other mobile devices into the classroom. I was pleased to see in this article that Mick Brooks, of the NAHT, is taking a non-Luddite stance on this. Unsuprising: he was one of the panel at the recent launch of the Cambridge Review of the Primary Curriculum, which I wrote about recently (http://www.ictineducation.org/home-page/2009/10/22/what-young-people-can-do-and-7-implications-of-that.html).\nPaul Haigh, the Deputy Head mentioned in the article, and I exchanged messages just after the Handheld Learning Conference, and it's good to see his work being picked up by a national newspaper.

About Digital Play - Digital Play - 2 views

  •  
    An interesting-looking blog, which I came across courtesy of Julie Lindsay's blog at htp://123elearning.blogspot.com. It's about the use of computer games, but specifically in the contexty of English as a Foreign/Second Language. Looks potentially useful, and I will be xploring it for possible inclusion the Games issue of the Computers in Classrooms newsletter.

Gary's Social Media Count | PERSONALIZE MEDIA - 1 views

    Interesting embeddable widget I discovered on Wesley Fryer's blog, http://www.speedofcreativity.org/. It shows how many blog posts etc there have been since you loaded the widget, in real time. I'm not actually sure how valuable or even valid such information is. There is no doubt, however, that using it in a presentation, as Fryer intended to do, would be a good way of grabbing people's attention right from the start. Perhaps it would work well in a classroom setting too, as a starting point for a discussion about what such statistics mean, in a 'real' sense.

    At first glane, this wiki-based video repository seems quite comprehensive. Given that it can be edited by anyone, I'm slightly concerned that 'rogue' videos may find their place on to the site. Also, will stuff be moved about making it hard to find again? Still, there is a search facility. I will be exploring this and reporting on it in due course. Thanks to coolcatteacher.blogspot.com for blogging about it, which is how I heard about it.

The jury's still out on whether internet use affects the brain - Times Online - 1 views

  • So the Lord Chief Justice’s suggestion that a lifetime spent on the internet will alter the way we think and process information is well founded.

      Not being British, I'm not quite as familiar with the Baroness's declarations as other here might be, but I've followed most of them, thinking sometimes that perhaps it's too much internet (could it have been those drugs back in the 1960s?) that has made me think that they're off the wall. But the "advances in technology" that we read about here aren't telling us that the internet alters the way we think, but that EVERYTHING we do and encounter alters the way we think. That makes sense ... but it certainly doesn't strenghten the Baroness's claim.
