learning is always mobile

sometimes learning gets

de-mobilised

(for good reasons)

good reasons:

shelter (safe environment)

focusing and synchronising attention

enabling various forms of communication

achieving a learning community and culture

„Smartpads are more powerful/ versatile than paper books and exercise books.“

„Smartboards are more powerful/ versatile than chalkboards.“

„Beamers are more powerful/versatile than overhead projectors.“

etc. …

But in fact, digital, networked media are not merely powerful new tools.

They demand and enforce a change in the way that schools organise …

School as a „typographic educational culture“,
