When it is essential to 'just fit in'!
There is a concern that many aspects of 'mainstream' pedagogic theory and practice actually work to harden rather than soften the communication divide between young people and their teachers. Christopher Hickey focuses on the collective dimension of identity, with a particular focus on young males, in the process of 'becoming somebody'.
Learning From the Future
Discuss scenarios and the implications for teachers in the e-learning age so simple solutions and the risk of trivialising significant decisions can be avoided. Dr Gilly Salmon uses senarios to forecast the future landscape for educational institutions.
