Great Blog fighting censorship through education and design.
Cordelia - Nothing
King Lear - Nothing!
Cordelia – Nothing.
King Lear – Nothing will come of nothing; Speak again.
Silence. Stillness.
Disconnection. Nothingness.
Having recently experienced a tech meltdown ( CristinaSkyBox), issues regarding the relevance of being connected, of teaching digital citizenship/identity, of engaging learners and teachers with technology for education, it is no surprise that concerns about mobility have been most on my mind.
It is never sufficient to explain how mobility needs to be integrated into classrooms. Mobility of being able to connect without firewalls, mobility to use mobile phones – above all, the mobility to inspire minds. In many institutions world over, the rule of no mobile phones in the classroom is still strongly preached and enforced.
I really think it is amazing we continue to condone the censorship that is ongoing in our schools.
