  • The classroom is more spacious, which is quite a good thing but it looks more like an IT office instead of a class. It creates team work automatically and this might not be a good thing is the students with conflicting ideas work together. It will also cost a lot of money to buy all these sophisticated materials...!!!! Large cohorts might also result in boredom in ceratin cases... I would really like to know how it will look like in reality...

  • looks boring, I'd imagine the students would fall asleep or be on facebook.

  • I think laptops for each child would in fact help cut costs in schools. This is the future. Fight it all you want computers will be here to stay. Perhaps what schools really need are teachers who embrace the new generation, who inspire, and motivate them. Let them see a great big world out there with lots of opportunity.

  • '...sounds like...' Is an unfounded statement and implication gets you no where. Tell me where you source your information from, what pedagogical merit is there in me listening to you, give me evidence that technology when applied correctly still stupifies, that GPS does not benefit the world, that you have been taught the penultimate skills needed to succeed in society, that your generation is better for the education you have received. Maybe then i'll listen to you.

  • Reading, writing and grammar are the foundations of the 'Four Resources Model' (Luke & Freebody, 2000). Critical Literacy is the skill set current education in Australia has formulated it's English curriculum around. Curriculum theorists acknowledge that Critical Literacy is the skillset students need to be citizens in the 21st century. Have you read any of the articles written by curriculum theorists and academics that are globally represented? What knowledge privledges your standpoint? Explain

  • The problem is that it sounds like you are trying to base a class around technology. Why? The more we rely on technology the stupider we get. People have little computers telling them where to go when they are driving. They will literally drive into a lake if the computer tells them to.

    Education consists of a teacher and a student exchanging ideas. That is all there is to it. We have been doing just fine for thousands of years.

  • >> "English - Analyzing advertising."

    Advertising? How about teaching reading, writing, and grammar. If you really want to talk about advertising, bring in a poster. You do not need technology for that. Film has very limited value in education. All you need is a simple TV and one of those carts to roll in to whatever room you need. It's not something you will be doing everyday (hopefully). Same with audio.

  • English - Analyzing advertising. You display the poster on the smartboard, use the various pens to electronicly analyse the piece, save the file and post it on the internet where your students can access it. Saves 30 plus copies, allows unlimited access regardless of geography, etcetera. Analysing film, last time I checked you can't play film on a chalkboard. Audio such as songs, radio, etcetera, a need for audio technology. I use this myself, welcome to the new multiliterate world.

  • >> "Are you sure about that?"

    Yes.

    There was absolutely nothing described in that video that could help students learn history, math, science, english. etc. It would just be a distraction at best.

    I am not saying that students shouldn't learn how to use technology, it just has no place in the classroom. That is, of course, unless the class is about technology. You need computers in a programming class, for example. Projectors, DVD players, and all that other crap are just a waste of money.

  • Are you sure about that? I'm currently undertaking a double degree at the University of Newcastle and I can absolutely see the essentiality of technology in the classroom. Just quickly what industry do you work in that doesn't require the use of a computer? What world do you live in that doesn't constantly bombard you with visual, audio and written code?

    Computers when used effectively and with the correct pedagogy are exactly what our learners need.

    I'd love to hear your response :)
