Learning in Cable-School: The Use of Networked ICTs in an Educational Context

The paper discusses the uses of multimedia in a number of schools, centring on one project – the ‘Cable-School’. I have used this project as a predicate for gaining access to and understanding the uses of multimedia technologies in schools. The paper argues that there is a clear division between the provision of technological infrastructure and pedagogic content. In some cases this has led users to generate their own content and to use the technology in potentially unanticipated ways.
