Recently we blogged about an exciting mobile learning project we deployed with The Le@rning Federation, a collaborative initiative of all Australian and New Zealand governments.

The project deployed the Learnosity Voice system, in a number of high-schools across three states in Australia. The students use mobile phones to dial into the system and answer a number of questions in the Indonesian language.

Below is a recording of one of the calls, shown with subtitles.

Growing up online

PBS Frontline

As educators, we're all becoming painfully aware that the new generation of kids/ students are growing up online. With social networking, the nature of friendship, socialising, and bullying have all changed. Organisations like the NCTE have some initiatives to educate parents and students alike on the 'proper' use of the net. Just how effective this is remains to be seen.

The TV Show Frontline on PBS in the US made a very interesting program about this. Watch the program in full on the PBS website. Or read more about it.

In short, from watching the show, it's clear that there is now a huge generation gap between children and parents- more so than ever before. It's clear to me that the way these students are educated in general (not just about the dangers of the web) has to change radically over the next few years.
