Some people are just amazing. Take this young man (oops, showing my age now aren't I). Nathan Murphy. He has turned his life upside down and gone from living on the streets to being an entrepreneur. He is just about to launch his online business AUDIO HIGH SCHOOL and I reckon we should all join up and support him. My kids are only in primary school but his business of making learning accessible on your Ipod or MP3 player will be invaluable in the coming years to them.
His website states .. On your iPod or MP3 today you can listen to music, watch video and surf the net, but you still can't learn what you're learning in High School. Well that's where AudioHighSchool comes in, we believe every student should have the opportunity to learn through Audio. So picture this, almost all your subjects, in a specifically structured format, written by professionals, all available at the press of a button on your media device.

This is a great way of taking technology and making it work as another method of learning. My only problem with it (i'm a primary teacher so it's kinda one of my passions) is that it excludes the students who are more *visual* (or hands on for that matter) learners. Not everyone can hear something and understand it. I am more of a visual person myself so if someone tried to explain something to me, I don't think I'd pick it up as well as if they showed me.
ReplyDeleteThat's my two cents. I do think this is a great way for the future, just shouldn't be the only way.

Hadn't thought of that Jacinta .. good point!
ReplyDeleteI'm an old-school nut myself (definately don't use an online diary - give me pen and paper any day).
I was really impressed with Nathan's get-up-and-go though. He could have easily slipped into the cracks and, instead, has come out smiling (-:
Hi Linda, I think it is quite a good idea, I agree with Jacinta I do like the hands on approach, but if it can help with learning, I am all for it. My son who is in High School and has a learning difficulty I think this could help him achieve greater results. Mimi xx
