- 1. A Vision of StudentsDr. Michael Wesch at Kansas State University http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/?p=119
- 2. 81% of teachers agree that ICT makes learning more effective. 66% of parents would like schools to use technologies such as text messaging and the internet to communicate more frequently. However, only 8% of parents were kept informed using these methods. 81% of teachers agree that ICT makes learning more effective. Students ranked ‘using computers’ 4th out of 16 when asked their favourite ways to learn but 95% are computer users and 75% mobile phone users (8-19 yrs) The top 3 choices were ‘learning in groups’, ‘doing practical things’ and ‘learning with friends’. 66% of parents would like schools to use technologies such as text messaging and the internet to communicate more frequently.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Research carried out by Dr. Michael Wesch at Kansas State University. 2300 web pagesSurvey: On average, how many web pages do you read each day? Average 21.51(We then multiplied this by 105 - roughly the number of days in a semester - and rounded to 2300.)and 1281 facebook profilesSurvey: On average, how many Facebook profiles do you view each day? Average 12.2 (multiplied by 105 = 1281)“And over 500 pages of email”Survey: On average, how many pages of e-mails will you write in a single day?Average: 4.96 (*105 days/semester = over 500)
- Harnessing Technology Review 2008: The role of technology and its impact on education http://partners.becta.org.uk/index.php?section=rh&catcode=_re_mr_02&rid=14900 Harnessing Technology: The learner and their context Mapping young people's uses of technology in their own contexts – A nationally representative survey http://partners.becta.org.uk/index.php?section=rh&catcode=_re_rp_02&rid=17238This report is part of the learner and their context strand of Becta's programme of managed research in support of the development of Harnessing Technology: Next Generation Learning 2008-14. A system-wide strategy for technology in education and skills. The aim of the learner and their context research is to gain up-to-date understandings about how a wide range of learners experience new technologies in their lives outside formal education, and the learning made possible by those experiences. Presented here are findings of a UK wide survey of one thousand young people aged 8, 12, 14 and 17 to 19 years old which help us understand more fully just how new technologies are experienced and how this is or may be applied to their learning.That young people tend to be relatively high users of technology whether at home or school, or somewhere else we know: At the ages of 12 and 14, the use of a computer and the internet is almost universal:99 per cent of 12-year-olds and 99 per cent of 14-year-olds use a computer at home or school, or somewhere else,97 per cent of 12-year-olds and 98 per cent of 14-year-olds use the internet at home or school, or somewhere else.But in what other ways do young people experience technology? Ninety five per cent of young people aged 8, 12, 14 and 17–19 use a computer, 88 per cent use the internet, 82 per cent play computer or console games, 76 per cent use a mobile phone, 70 per cent use an MP3 player, and 53 per cent use a digital camera. But where do young people develop skills, what are their concerns about technology, and just what exactly is it that they are doing? Readers of this report may wish to read it in conjunction with Harnessing Technology: The learner and their context - Key findings from the first year of research (Becta March 2009) and other research findings in the Harnessing Technology: The learner and their context series.
