We had such an interesting
day at school (besides my history class before English)
Our class was invited
by a Norwegian radio station in Oslo and we were supposed to answer some
questions about our use of social network. It was really funny being on the
other side, and see how this works behind the "scenes". Two of the
experts disagreed mostly all the time, and it was really funny how they
reacted, without being able to "say it out loud"
It lasted for
about 30 minutes and they talked about many interesting topics for example:
how it was back in the days, when only adults were able to take pictures, and
there were only taken pictures from big "events" like weddings or
others. They also talked about if the "paper" version of books will
disappear in the future. To be honest, I doubt that, even though I think it is
better to use pc/ iPad in English class, I prefer regular books in other
subjects. ( The worst thing I can think of is e-books in every subject. !)
We made also a
research before the interview and asked students in class how many hours they
are online and almost everybody was online all the time. Nowadays everybody is
addicted to " being" online, at least teenagers so they are always
available for their friends and in case of something "big"
happened on the internet.
It was really an
interesting English class, and I think it would be even funnier if we had to
talk in English. About 100000 people were listening to our conversation
on p2/ NRK ekko
I thought it was interesting too! And it would have been even better if they spoke English. That will never happen on Norwegian radio without being translated at lest not in many years. But I predict that students will have ebooks in all subjects soon, and they will love it!
