NOT English, Math or Web Studies?

15 Nov 2006 (Wed)

FIRST, while browsing Stephen Downes’ “OLDaily”, I found a good graphic External link icon (opens in new window) from “Creating Passionate Users”. It summed up neatly “Why does engineering, math or science education in the US suck?”
What We Teach vs. What They Actually Need

THEN I found Paul Allison wondering aloud in a “Teachers Teaching Teachers” post:

…perhaps those of us using digital photography, podcasts, Google maps,webcasts, wikis, video, del.icio.us, tags, blogs, Bloglines, Google Reader, online word processors, digital stories and poetry, and other Web 2.0 technologies need our own department, our own discipline, our own field of study… “Web Studies” would address new literacies that are not presently being taught in the traditional, core subjects. Web Studies needs to become more central in schools… I’m wondering if I’m still an English teacher. Probably not.

Checking out the comments section, I found Tom Hoffman’s response (“It’s All English”) in his Tuttle SVC blog.

Initially, I shared Paul Allison’s sentiments. However, suddenly, it seems obvious. It’s NOT about English, Math or Web Studies anymore. Just look at the graphic above again.

    Note: The above post was amended on 16th November. As a result, the graphic in my post in Me2U disappeared – a bug in Elgg?!
