What a wonderful new musical instrument the Skoog is. An instrument for everyone.
To quote John Connell from his blog on last year's BETT Show:
"Everywhere I wandered I came across little gaggles of people listening intently to someone demonstrating yet another ticky-boxy piece of junk designed to rank and grade kids, to label them, to monitor them and to 'protect' them.
"It is in such products, and in the school-based practices that depend on them, that we can see the true extent of the malaise that affects so many schools today. On display were the instruments that subjugate learning to that same level, to those same reduced visions of the miserable gradgrinds who would turn our schools into factories for the production of hard-working passive subjects ready to serve our economy and little else."
I cannot imagine any of the very many, skilled professional teachers I've known and worked with, not finding this 2010 programme infuriating in its smug support for inane, trite software, masquerading as education.
