BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Giving up my iPod for a Walkman - 0 views

  • In some classes in school they let me listen to music and one teacher recognised it and got nostalgic.
  • It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equaliser, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two different types of cassette.

      I *love* this paragraph! Talk about a digital divide.
  • Throughout my week using the Walkman, I came to realise that I have very little knowledge of technology from the past. I made a number of naive mistakes, but I also learned a lot about the grandfather of the MP3 Player.

      I got goosebumps reading this paragraph. Look at those verbs: realise, made mistakes, learned. Wow.

2¢ Worth » Suggestions for School Board Members - 0 views

  • Respect & pay attention to the kids Give learners a voice Hire learners to teach Seize “almost” every opportunity to replace books with digital content (ouch) Pursue 1:1 carefully, but urgently Support the infrastructure Make sure that the tech staff works for the teachers The best thing we can teach our children today, is how to teach themselves When you visit the school, be happy when you see learning.  Be suspicious when you see too much teaching.
