The digital classroom

Conclusion Undoubtedly, our schools must prepare students to live and work in a computer literate society. And as we build our curriculum to equip our students for the world that awaits them, Internet access becomes an increasingly important part of the student’s learning experience. It is incumbent upon administrators, teachers, and parents to introduce students to the Internet in a productive and educationally sound fashion. And to monitor their learning and behavior, because the task at hand is to prepare the future citizens of the networked world. They will not be perfect right way; they will make mistakes. We truly need to know when they need more guidance, and more teaching. Filtering technology, used alone or in conjunction with firewall security, provides a simplified, reliable, and cost-effective mechanism for schools to protect the quality of their students’ Internet use

Pupil mortification: digital photography and identity construction in classroom assessment

Cultural theorists have illuminated how photographic images contribute to autobiographical remembering and identity formation. This has new significance given that digital photography now allows personal images to circulate rapidly amongst peer groups. Taking these insights into classroom contexts, this paper draws on recent case-study data to explore a teacher’s use of digital photography to provide ‘feedback’ to pupils. Critiquing dominant psychological understandings of classroom assessment for their lack of recognition of power relations, it takes up post-structuralist theories of discourse, embodiment and affect to consider how these digital photographs became ‘sticky’ with memories of peer derision, ‘mortifying’ pupils and marking them as ‘other’ in ways that were intensified through later display to the class. Thus, rather than providing benign support for learning, the circulation of these images as part of feedback processes in this classroom context seems to have functioned as a powerful technology of individualization and normalization.     

The standardised classroom

What would classrooms be like if they actually took completely to heart the advice of politicians and those outside the educational service who judge everything by results? Frank Serafini presents here a chilling analysis of the dangers here and highlights the implications of standardising education. Hopefully we will not go along this road, which, as Frank argues, presumes mistakenly that people and children can be standardised as well.
