Can you get the best out of a VLE? Guided Research of the Roman Empire (Ed Waller) a) The School Context As the development of the internet began, it also began the marginalisation of the School Text Book. One can imagine a time in the future when schools are 'free' from the requirement to provide books, when every student has a laptop with internet access for all. Although the idea of "settling down with a good book" will probably not vanish, the advantages of the internet over the textbook are probably obvious: updated, flexibility, low cost... ..... b) The Student Context Students have become increasingly ICT literate, albeit that they might not recognise their achievements in the same terms. I-pods have replaced walkmans; video/audio phones are replacing text/audio phones; Satellite broadcasting has changed the nature of television... ..... c) The VLE solution I should note early in this section that VLE is A solution rather than THE solution. First of all it offers something that the Headteacher will be able to agree to as it can be designed in line with the corporate image website. Similarly it is something that can and would be seen generally as under the control of the school, and confer ownership of any resources or material. Increasingly schools are looking towards VLEs to provide a learning experience which is both controlled and effective. The nature of their engagement has significantly changed as a result, and the teaching of history (among other subjects) has changed with it, and generally for the better. The change in students has demanded a change in the approach of teachers who have had to create engagement rather than merely expecting or demanding it. |

Building a digital monument (Nico Zijlstra): 40 Years ago the Dutch government decided to close all coalmines in the region of Heerlen NL. The closures had a profound impact on the miners, in fact on everyone in the region. 20 years after the closures there was hardly anything left that reminded of this period of local industry.
In the heads of ex-miners however the History lived on. Together with my pupils we've decided to create a 'digital monument'in which the story will be told for future generations. December 17th 2005, exactly 40 years after the closures were announced, pupils aged 15-16 carried out some 20 interviews on digital video tape. In a special website on the Dutch mining industry those videointerviews will be made public. At the same time other pupils made a film acting as journalists reporting on the official festivities of that remembrance day.
