A 2009 blog post from a NSW teacher about setting up a school Internet radio station. Includes some ideas for how this could be used. Involves aspects of recording information, distributing it and creating it (amongst others).
Video of teacher using bee-bots to teach a small group, accompanying blog post connects it with some learning theory. Not entirely sure about the links though.
Schooling is where structures are imposed upon learners to make the process more manageable. Behaviour is synchronised, curricula are standardised, and criterion referenced assessment is imposed to quantify achievement.

The view of one UK-based teacher educator about the nature of the digital age, the requirements of education in such an age, and the mismatch between those requirements and schooling.
It points to some of the tension between the rise of standardised curricula (e.g. the Australian curriculum) where all learning is predefined and the characteristics of the digital age. In particular, suggests some challenges when working within the existing schooling system and attempting to use ICTs to transform student learning.
