If we're going to make a difference it means getting rid of the constraints under which we work and looking at doing only those things which will increase pupil experience and making learning something they want to come to school to do, not something they do in between seeing friends.</p>Bob Hill commented on 'Some big (and not so big) questions about Extreme Learning'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d834b2794653ef2006-09-16T15:15:51Z2007-04-28T12:04:10ZBob Hillhttp://robthill.wordpress.comAt the risk of repeating myself, why does this have to be an after school activity?

Why not just free up the timetable to allow pupils access to computers in school so "Extreme Learning" is also a timetabled activity?

Sounds like a brilliant project, the better it is the more questions. Most are too hard for me but:<br />
<em>Do kids need internet access at home? If they do but don’t have it what contributions could librarians and the community make?</em> Is the one I worry about.

Maybe schools could open after hours for access to internet, maybe it is time that children have a <b>right</b> to internet access.</p>
