A study by Futurelab, the educational software research centre in Bristol, urged teachers to explore the learning potential of chatrooms and blogs. It suggested pupils could move beyond e-learning, towards c-learning, with the “c” standing for communicative, community or collaborative.
“If learning to learn, if collaboration, and if the personalisation of educational experiences are at the core of current educational agendas, we need to find ways of enabling young people to come into contact with, collaborate with, and learn from each other,” it said.
The report said misuse of blogs and chatrooms is not a good enough reason to ban them. “Schools should not expect students to leave the 21st century in the cloakroom,” the study said. “There is an imperative to teach appropriate use and behaviour for ICT. This should include protection of students’ own identities.”
'more power to the Blog' I say!
