Description
New technologies are second nature to most young people, and this programme explores how they can help in the classroom - particularly in an English lesson.Teenagers discuss blogging and look at personal social sites like MySpace. Dr Andrew Burn from the University of London, Apple Distinguished Educator David Baugh, Acton High School's Head of Media Toby Newton, and Andy Black from BECTA give us their expert opinions on this fascinating phenomenon.Mobile telephone technology is constantly changing and although phones are banned in most schools, both young people and Martin Owen from Futurelab explain how mobiles can actually benefit learning. Podcasting is another hot topic which is also discussed and demonstrated firsthand by 15 year old Tom. This film aims to overcome any fears teachers may have of new technologies, and shows how embracing this new phenomenon could actually benefit both students and teachers alike.
