The times really are changing

Just recently , I have become aware of just how much things are changing. They have been changing all the time , of course, but every once in a while you reach a level of critical mass the the changes tumble into something. You Tube is bigger and more popular than ever. It has a lot more serious content now and it is much more widely used by everyone, not just daft school kids on mobiles. Podcasts are now a really good way to keep yourself informed and more and more people are using them to educate and teach. You can see now that with a Facebook type set up, podcasts and something like You tube, we could actually dispense with schools and create global classrooms. We have the technology. Some students might suit the Facebook/You Tube/Podcast approach better because they are like a lot of people…they don’t like to be tied to time and a desk. Then I have noticed on my other blog that people are now viewing it from iPhones and the like and using USB stick internet. This has been happening more and more often over the last 2 weeks. Our mobile technologies are now up and running an as they infiltrate the mainstream they will free us all up. No longer tied to wires. It’s exciting really!
