[elearning] RE: MP3; iPod & Mobile Phone policy

[ken price]

Hi Ros,

I like your analogy (in the blog) of how men in the 1930s were
considered rude if they went out hatless.

Attached are 3 images related to the idea of changes and education.

One picture shows the changes in how popular music has been
experienced over the last 100 years, and another shows the changes in
a school over the same period. A bit of a scary comparison really.
(these are from Mike Sharples at LSRI Nottingham)

The third shows some items that have something in common - you might
ask your colleagues to guess what this commonality is. Usually you get
answers like "all are communication devices" or "all are used in a
modern workplace or in daily life"  The filename of course tells you -
they have all been banned in schools at some stage. And some still
are.

I probably have better quality images if anyone wants them

Cheers
Ken

TASITE, Tasmania
