On the way to school this morning my son declared that 'school is boring' and he couldn't wait for the school holidays. I asked him what would it take to make school fun and he replied playing the wii in class or even better if the whole school had its own DS and they could link up. He also suggested that the half an hour on thursdays in the computer lab is not enough and that the programs the school is using are too simple.
Interesting to hear this from my child in the context of what we are learning in this course. I think this five minute conversation with my son has had more impact on me than the stack of readings we have done. Constructivism in action? Maybe in its simlest form.
We should get kids to write the course on ICT's.
