  • How are pupils and teachers encouraged and motivated to relate to digital culture and use digital technology?
  • main incentives usually offered with respect to digital technology use are concerned with life after schooling and the promise of a future career in the workplace. The ineffectiveness of such incentives is clearly evidenced in the “lifestyle choices” of many children
  • the role of both face to face (friends, relatives, family, peers, neighbors, memberships to groups, etc) and remote (online help facilities, helplines, etc) social and resource networks needs to be recognized (Selwyn, 2004). Social networks may represent a significant determinant in the process within which different pupils and teachers, as members of diverse communities and collectivities, identify a “use” for digital technology in their daily and leisure lives, develop an interest towards this use, establish an initial and later a meaningful engagement with digital tools and contents and sustain this interest and engagement throughout time by expanding their skills and knowledge.

  • Essentially then, pupils’ and teachers’ membership to different social communities, which may be considered as sources of advice and agents of socialization into differentiated forms of culture, is an influential aspect of digital literacy development.

  • war on subsistence
  • argued for the creation of convivial, rather than manipulative institutions, for universal and self-directed education and intentional social relations in fluid, informal arrangements
  • referring to already exhisting ideas of Everett Reimer and Basil Yeaxlee
  • Before even Internet was widely spread he wrote that the most radical alternative to school would be a network
  • The concept of vernacular
  • obviously for Illich the process of destabilization of the vernacular language was also the starting point for establishing control society through education
  • from the 80s Illich’s work has been often neglected for being too radical and controversial
