Dr. Sugata Mitra claims than we should not be worried about children that share screens in learning situations. Computer screens can be participatory, social and generate good learning enviroments. Mitra is more worried abour the small screens on our smart phones and tablets. He seems to mean that they keep people isolated from each other. In educarion, teaching and learning is there more reason to be concerned about small screens than large shared screens?
Yes, of course. Using smart phones and small non-participatory screens makes learners apart from others and leads to a weakening of the spirit of interaction and sharing .
Hi Dear Colleagues
If you have reason to worry, it would be equal for small screens as for large screens.
Both can create and simulate special situations of interaction and sharing, but none will never be rival to a real situation of face-to-face teaching and learning.
Sincerely, Djamel.
