‘Schools, blogs, Xanga, MySpace…What’s it all about, Alfie?’ is een heel erg uitgebreide blog over de weerstand die scholen hebben tegen lerende die bloggen. Bevat interessante overwegingen, onder meer over online pesten. De auteur stelt terecht dat de pers over goede voorbeelden niet zal schrijven.
Scott Wilson geeft over dit artikel onder meer aan:
Its a fascinating piece, in several parts, that traces reactions to teen’s use of LiveJournal, Xanga, MySpace and other blogging and social networking services, and the (sadly predictable) reactions by some schools.
This type of reaction is worth analyzing, and in particular we need to have the counter-arguments worked out if we are to enable institutions to support and embrace (1) students having their own learning management tools under their control, (2) student-contributed technologies in institutions, and (3) students being encouraged to form their own informal learning networks.
