Questioning Online Learning -> Technology creates its own context -> Re: Technology creates its own context

This is quite an interesting discussion that I would like to join if I may. I am discovering directly how technology creates its own context right now in my Grade 5 classroom. I have just started the academic year with (for the first time) a one to one laptop facility. I am now finding myself challenged to find directions as to how can the technology enhance the learning. For the first couple of weeks I did the usual desktop publishing that we all know so well. So what next ...
Well multimedia is the next obvious choice. Slowly I'm finding my way. It helps that there is a big LCD screen in the school cafes on which we can run student work. So now I'm trying to develop my students skills in sharing. I'm about to have a go at helping my students to turn their narrative stories about the digestion of a virtual sandwich into a Magic Schoolbus kind of animation using Keynote. It's like the learning, has turned into students teaching others by using technology.

School has never been so cool!
