[SUMMARY—Quotes which illustrate.]
(WORLD) MediaSnackers are being served more and more ways to snack on their chosen media than ever. It's hard to differentiate between companies and start-ups enabling snacking or the snacking trends driving media platform development, but here are a couple of quotes from the 'experts' to sum it all up for any 'MediaSnacker-virgins':
All students have the right to learn in a safe and supportive learning environment—this includes making students' experience of the virtual world of learning as safe and productive as possible.
Australian Education Services Minister Jacinta Allan on the states decision to ban access to YouTube in schools in an attempt to stop curb cyberbullying.
We have to recognize they kids different from us. We watch TV, they make TV. It is technology that has made them different.
Creative Commons founder Larry Lessig talking at this years TED conference.
…I'd rather my kid spent 200 mins a night of interaction in front of the computer instead of 200 minutes passiveness in front of the telly. To be honest, what I think or what the elderly gent who saw me at the end thinks, doesn't matter. The kids are doing this, will be doing this and it's down to parents and teachers to consider their roles in understanding and directing this 'play' rather than criticising it.
From the blog and the fantastic Ewan MacIntosh.
