I agree with a lot of what you say but am saddened that you cite Prensky and Gauntlett as gurus of this approach. I think both are pretty shallow and unhelpful in thinking through the real issues of pedagogy. Try […]

In reply to: Tim Brook posted a message in the group Suggestion Box: Re-posted from Activities: Karl Rawstrone I think the site is very ’busy’ – too many places and ways of getting there.

I notice that my last “what’s new?” comment was some seven months ago – nothing since! The reason is that I have stepped down from being Chair of MEA after the two years i committed to doing, and have thankfully handed over to Pete Fraser.

Notable findings are that for the 12-15 age group mobile phones have finally overtaken TV as the technology they’d miss most if it were taken away. TV is STILL the…[Read more]

What is Media Education?: 9 months, 1 week agoHello to Jack, Elena and Alan who’ve recently joined this group. Have you also been to the Manifesto site at http://www.manifestoformediaeducation.co.uk? It’d be interesting to hear your comments. Or maybe like me, you are less interested in manifestoes and more interested in evidence about who’s learning what. Please share some information about your work!

International Hub: 9 months, 1 week agoHi Alan,
I posted news of your group to about 30 colleagues around the world and am a bit disappointed that so few of them have signed up (well, two actually!) Maybe you could post some links and or raise some issues that you think media educators internationally ought to be paying attention to? -

His argument is idealistic. Software is a tool. Of course the tool’s design dictates how we use it and we should be aware that this channels meaning in particular ways. But if I want to dig my vegetables I don’t want to have to forge a spade first. Apart from anything else I might well be a better digger than a blacksmith. While I’m using my…[Read more]
