A seminar hosted by the Human Scale Education charity and supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation was held today in London with Prof Stephen Heppell leading invited guests from schools nationwide.
The day was spent learning from Stephen about the impact of modern technologies, then debating the impact in schools with a focus on 2 questions;
1 what should schools be doing to take advantage of modern technologies to develop human scale learning?
2 what is stopping us from making that happen?
Video clips and other resources will be uploaded onto this blog to stimulate debate, share ideas and build a momentum for sustained change that brings modern technologies (computers, mobile phones, games consoles, cameras, etc) into an influential and essential aspect of the daily learning of young people and the many adults who help them to learn.
