iPADS & Convergence Culture

-
iPADS are now an important learning tool within the 21st Century school environment. Schools need to view creative media as one of the key "learning corner stones" of the contemporary classroom.

Classrooms should enable students to express their cultural situation, their stories and knowledge expressions whilst employing creative technologies such as iPADs.

This need is well stated  by  Henry Jenkins re: "Convergence Culture". If you don't know Henry Jenkins play this video;




A relatively new animation media app for the iPADS enables students to self express in an immediate and rewarding manner. The app looks fun and engaging. The app is called Blush Undivided Video. Check out the app via YouTube



There is a change in who develops the content. It is important that students are engaged in creativity via "content creation". Rich media content development should not be the sole domain of the teacher. iPAD apps and the convergent culture are helping to redefine the role of the teacher. The sage on the stage should cease and the meddler in the middle should emerge.

Pre-Raphaelite grace

  The space tourist, a vision of Pre-Raphaelite grace, moves through the opulent yet subtly technological environment of the Rumour Mill Stopover. Her beauty is striking: a delicate allure, with flowing lines and rich detail reminiscent of a Rossetti painting. Her elegant hairstyle, an intricate cascade of dark waves, complements her refined attire, a shimmering, form-fitting garment woven with threads of starlight. She holds a beautifully crafted chalice in her slender hands. The vessel, worked with gold and glowing filigree, seems to hum with a soft, inner light, and likely contains a revitalising beverage, one of the station's many exquisite offerings designed to restore and rejuvenate weary travellers.  JJFBbennett music https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrxQKZRnAka3dliF7lp1-Ow   #Scifi #InterstellarLuxury #ZeroGravityCoffee #OrbitRetreat #GalacticEscape #SpaceAesthetic #AstroCafe #CosmicCalm #Cyborgart #Dreamscape #LuxuryBeyondEarth #Luxury #Opulence Be Creative ...
