Futurelab’s latest web articles

December’s articles from Futurelab give some interesting reading, especially Pat Chapman from CCE talking about the value of creativity in schools, and an example of how a school wanted an aeroplane in their school, and so they got it. Seems like a little bit of similarity there!

Futurelab – Shoutbox

Using mobiles to record informal learning outside of school to hopefully help in-school learning, children recording and sharing film of what they learnt and most importantly it’s fun and learning together. It can help understand more about the children and how creative they can be.

Futerlab – Dream Catcher

A great idea to capture the dreams of children in the classroom, giving them the camera to take photos and video their friends and tell their stories and dreams, everything from the eye of the child.
