Textbooks Are Zombies | ETCJ Harry Keller 2013-07-22 - 1 views

  •  
    "By Harry Keller Editor, Science Education Despite plenty of nay-sayers, the textbook is dead. It just doesn't know it yet and continues on walking about as though alive. Textbooks have evolved considerably over the last fifty years and even somewhat in the previous fifty years. I even have one, A Text-Book of Physics, on my bookshelf beside me that was printed in 1891. It has some line drawings and no color. Its size is about 5"x8". Today, textbooks have lots of colorful images, plenty of side bars, and lots of engaging questions sprinkled about on their heavy-weight glossy paper stock. They also have tons of advice to teachers on how to use them effectively. They've gone about as far as they can go with paper as the medium. (...) You can learn faster and learn more than you think you can. Textbooks do not tap into our brains to realize that learning potential. New software that uses true active learning will. By so doing, it will eliminate textbooks of all forms, both printed and online, both passive and so-called interactive. Today, the textbook is a zombie. It's just waiting for that wooden stake or silver bullet to put it to a well-deserved rest."

    Analisi decisamente più interessante rispetto alle precedenti (citate) perchè vola decisamente più alta evitando di impantanarsi sulla falsa questione del formato dei contenuti per ragionare piuttosto di metodo. Ho condiviso filosofia e conclusioni

    Non lo so, voi che ne pensate? A me pensare a bambini di scuola primaria con il libro digitale sul tablet mette una tristezza infinita, e tutto sommato un passaggio completo al digitale non lo vorrei nemmeno per gli altri ordini di scuola (non so, sono sempre stata affezionata al profumo dei libri, al rumore del lapis sulla carta...). Però dei VERI libri digitali interattivi (e aperti) sarebbero indubbiamente utilissimi in molti contesti e per molte materie.
