HÁ-DE VIR A SEGUIR O TWITTER...
"Everyone knows that if you want to find out how to program the video or use a new website, you should ask an eight-year-old. Everyone, that is, except Sir Jim Rose. In a novel reversal of the usual format (perplexed adult, know-it-all child oozing condescension), his review of primary education suggests, according to the leaked draft, that teachers will one day instruct children on "blogging, podcasts, Wikipedia and Twitter". I can almost see the look of fear on poor, technophobic Miss Jones's face as class 3A steadily ignore her because they're too busy updating their MySpace pages on their mobiles. (...) Although the internet can be a valuable educational tool, I also wonder if it isn't worthwhile having a little time off from it in the classroom. The adult world is so suffused with hyper-connectivity – emails landing every second, invitations to follow the sender on Twitter, colleagues pinging messages from their BlackBerries when they're in a meeting or at the doctor's – that I envy schoolchildren their brief window when they can concentrate on the task in hand. Part of the joy of learning is being thoroughly absorbed in another world, whether it's a medieval battlefield or the chrysalis of a grub turning into a butterfly.". (todo aqui e apanhado daqui)
