This morning four P6 students from an International School interviewed me about the impact of technology to our life. They used notebook computer to instantly note down my answers, from Cantonese to English, still camera to take pictures, camcorder to take video and iPhone to record the whole interview. They said they would produce a multimedia presentation on the topic. They really scare me as they are doing what I have done in University.
Hong Kong people are having hot debate on building a great railway costing 68 billion. The so called Post 80 (those born after 80') strongly against the railway as it is too expensive and not necesary. Stephen Heppell, famous ICT scholar, gave a speech about Learning at 2016, mentioned that a few years ago UK built a perfect railway but however, people brought their own cars. Stephen mentioned our school is same as the railway, mobile learning is having great breakthrough on learning while we still regard our school as a perfect railway. Part of Stephen's speech is attached as some hints about railway, school and the pattern of post 80 learning. Full version of Stephen speech http://www.teachers.tv/video/4957
