Still slowly working my way through the first module for ETL523...
The video of the presentation on this website is interesting (though long). It discusses how the presenter, David Eagleman, thinks the Internet will save our civilisation - he gives six reasons why.
The video embedded at the bottom of the page (and below in this blog post) shows the potential for interactive books. This is one he has written just for the iPad, looking at the same topic - 'how the Internet will save civilisation'.
I think it is a very clever concept, and look forward to seeing this sort of thing as resources in schools in the long term, but I do hope that children continue to be able to be entertained purely by the written word and their imagination... I hope that our future generations are able to problem solve, and use their imaginations, and do not solely rely on technology for amusement.
Do check it out, and see what you think:
