No Breathing In Class - Michael Rosen. Children are tech addicts – and schools are the pushers | Eliane Glaser. As a culture, we are finally waking up to the dark side of new technology. “The internet is broken”, declares the current issue of Wired, the tech insiders’ bible. Last month Rick Webb, an early digital investor, posted a blog titled “My internet mea culpa”. “I was wrong,” he wrote. “We all were.” He called on the architects of the web to admit that new technology had brought more harm than good. Yet while geeks, the public and politicians – including Theresa May – grow disenchanted, schools, and those responsible for the national curriculum, seem stuck in an earlier wide-eyed era. I flinch internally when my five-year-old tells me she plays computer games in what primary schools call “golden time” rather than enjoying some other more wholesome reward; and when my eight-year-old says that he’s learned to send an email when I sent my first email aged 20, and email has since taken over my life and that of every other adult I know.
Our kids don’t use computers at home. Lesson plans – bollocks! Entre Les Murs 2 – conseil de discipline 43 :00.

Ken Robinson: How schools kill creativity. ~ Tales of a Trainee Teacher ~ The other day, I was watching a documentary about extreme weather and natural disasters, and their effects on schools across the globe (it really wasn’t as dull as it sounds, honestly!). I was amazed at how well handled some events were, but totally shocked in other ways. For example, the documentary showed footage of an earthquake hitting a school in Japan. As soon as the room started shaking, the teacher ordered everybody under the desks, and obviously having done earthquake drills, this was all completed safely within about two seconds flat.
A minute or so later, [what I’m guessing was] a more senior member of staff ran to all the classrooms, and ordered everybody out of the building, which was also carried out quickly and calmly. Another clip showed a strong tornado hitting a school in America (I’ve completely forgotten which state, sorry!). Playing to Learn | Exploring the vital connection between play and learning.

Geospatial technologies such as global positioning systems and geographic information systems infiltrate many people’s daily lives – General Motor’s OnStar, Apple’s iPhone, Yahoo and Google maps, and the meteorological maps that display the local weather forecast are just a few.
