When I was in highschool one of my favourite things to do was go to the mall to shop with my mom and friends. Even though my small babysitting budget limited my big ticket purchases, it was still a fun, social activity that I always looked forward to. Today, the mall is a place that I try to avoid. The mall hasn’t changed much and it’s not a dreadful place to be but with the growing popularity of online shopping and how convenient it is, it can be tough to justify making a trip.

Student voices unheard?

Learning with e's

In yesterday's post I mentioned the Youth Media Team who featured at the ICT in Education Conference in Ireland. I also stressed how important it is to give students a voice in their own education. Students should be at the centre of the learning process - where else could they legitimately be? However, if they don't have a voice in their own learning, they are peripheral to the process, and education fails them.
