“L’escola del Bosch seguia la petjada de l’École Plenaire francesa cuidant del benestar infantil en tot moment. És llavors, a la seva plenitud professional, quan Rosa Sensat dirigeix la secció femenina amb Antoni Monroy, encarregat de la masculina. L’educació és segons la llengua materna del nen, a parts iguals entre el català i el castellà. A més a més, es tractava d’una escola municipal pensada pels més pobres que “els treia del torrent i els pujava a Montjuich”. A més a més, donava als seus alumnes 3 àpats, davantal i calçat.”

The notion of structured authoring will become more natural.
What´s needed is to find ways of giving continuity to the fragmented pieces. The role of the curator as story teller is a key one.
Content management systems on many levels, from Evernote to CCMS, will start to become automated, personalized, geolocalized, in order to help create the continuities.
The curator/story teller will have the role to provide meaning to the whole picture.

Generation gaps in these countries are extremely wide…
Could we bridge those gaps using Mobile Learning?
