Education - Change.org: LOL Video Satire: "Medieval Help-Desk" (or, "Why Books Shouldn't Replace Scrolls")
You have to appreciate this if you've even done tech support or simply helped someone with their computer who was totally clueless.
I always have to remind people that technology doesn't mean computers, even books are technology.

Hi, Daniel,
ReplyDeleteYes, how I agree that the technology, whatever it is, needs time, patience, and an understanding of where the student is coming from. I am very interested in your 'CALL'. I would venture to suggest that the e-Portfolio is an excellent way of documenting one's progress in language learning. What do you think?
Portfolios can be made to be user-friendly for any age or ability, from '5-95', ie Lifelong and Lifewide. Being able to combine written text with MP3/4 files means that students can review and reflect upon their progress and even invite peer assessments or (I've never thought of this before!) MP3 corrected formative recordings - however short from a teacher back to the individual learner!
Have a look at my blog and see if we can continue this conversation:
