I think we're just going to retread old ground here endlessly about blockin=
g and upskilling. Does anyone have some concrete, practical, scoped solutio=
ns now to all this? Because, if not, then Naace should step in and work out=
some perhaps without endless circular arguments.
Can anyone point to specific strategies "classroom up" and "RBC down" to co=
pe with lack of access as only one part of the jigsaw?=20
I think the problem only comes into high relief when someone notices it in =
an institution when someone needs to use certain resources - when I first s=
tarted writing resources for the net 15 years ago it was obvious then and i=
t still seems to have got no better in many cases.=20
But it's not really a case of "access" per se or digital natives or old vs =
young because I am beginning to think that really is the wrong end of the t=
elescope - what is needed is a co-ordinated questioning of the infrastructu=
re in the context of step change. Over the next few months I am going to be=
asking these questions on video with people involved in the process up and=
down the country - academics, teachers, commercial providers, quangos, pun=
dits, pupils, parents, policy advisors/ makers and other communities and I =
think it's time to make the debate far wider in scope.
So I am launching this :
http://www.l4l.co.uk/drupal/
Anyone who is interested in a brief video interview just sign up and I can =
start to get footage and flesh out how to effect change over and beyond jus=
t LAs or schools but a general mindset about what we want education for. Ov=
er the next few years it might be a much tougher time for education in gene=
ral in this country and around the world - if we retreat into solutions tha=
t mean we withdraw from engaging with social media technologies or cut back=
on resources or not implement them in the first place then perhaps we shou=
ld regard why this is the case and what people want out of an education sys=
tem and how that will evolve.
I know that there are excellent projects like Futurelab's:
http://www.beyondcurrenthorizons.org.uk/scenarios
but in the nonce I am interested in garnering people's opinions about where=
we are now and what changes they want.
So sign up on the Drupal site and there will be more to come in the followi=
ng months - it's a year long project and intended to take a digital litmus =
to the state of education in this country, why it needs to change and some =
of the changes that might be happening.
I guess I am lucky in that I get to enter into several different arenas whe=
re a lot of interesting activity is going on. My personal view it is to do =
with focusing on learning communites and how they are evolving using social=
media, what, for want of a better phrase, "Digital Literacy" is and how th=
at will impact on our identity and the way we function as citizens nd how w=
e learn in the 21st Century.
The fact that we can't get access in so and so a place will be increasingly=
irrelevant and as is increasingly shown in all sorts of institution, breed=
s irrelevancy of practice brought on by lack of resourcing (human or otheri=
wse) thus reducing practice to stale outmoded and quite boring ways of doin=
g things which serves no-one well- what I think is lacking in many cases is=
good channels of info, involvement of community and vision for the communi=
ty as a whole but who knows - so I will be talking to people involved in se=
veral arenas and wanting answers or frameworks - I'd like to screen the res=
ults in the UK and start a debate around it - but I'll start small.=20
