ABSTRACT:
As educators we have a tendency to assume that the use of
information and communication technologies in school plays a
dominant part in the acquisition of effective knowledge and skills
in this domain. We tend to overlook what our pupils and students do
in their own time and the impact this also has on their cognitive
and affective development. Using examples from Europe, US and Asia
this seminar the speaker explore current trends in media use by
children and adolescents and the implications of this out-of-school
learning for what we do in education.
