What we are seeing here is an acceptance at Government level of the types of social networking spaces that people (not only youth) inhabit. By posting content into YouTube the Government has validated its use. It's unfortunate that they took traditional content and imported it into a totally different media/discourse. As a literacy teacher you would have noted as I did that any construction of 'text' needs to be designed around context, purpose and audience. This influences style and language etc. A Prime Minister in a suit sitting behind the Institution of aloof Government is never going to meet its goal. Given the style of content in YouTube, what do you think Mr Howard should have said and how?.... perhaps we won't go there : ) I think what you’re saying Regan is very true.

Irrespective of researcher, practitioner or punter responses to this question, it belies the certainty that there’s certainly more opportunities to teach them to learn differently. Our capacity to respond to the treasures within our young (and older!) students is undoubtedly far greater through e-learning, and enables us to move away from institution-based delivery to individual-based learning and explore any space to facilitate this in. If it weren’t for portals, there wouldn’t be ‘outside spaces’ – and I’m not saying this is a bad thing! (A $189 million Commonwealth funded program can’t be entirely wrong.) Whether it was John Howard or his political marketing machine posting to YouTube and whether or not its successful in appealing to the youth voter – the fact is he’s there! Whether John Howard is perceived as an online predator, contacting unsuspecting young MySpace and YouTube members, or whether he’s seen as an assiduous and contemporary PM - is just the discussion, enabled through social networking, we immortalise in the wake of our education, entertainment, communication and connection evolution Thanks for the regional events LearnScope :) Perhaps young people don’t learn differently to how they did years ago…… perhaps they do…..
