Centrepiece is the analysis of the likelihood of a replacement of handwriting
as a tool used in today’s schools, from childhood to adolescents and around
yesterday’s, today’s and tomorrow’s educational life. I will present an analysis
of uses of computer technology, of devices and resources. I will also present
limitations of today’s tools, along with emerging possibilities which have appeared
as a potential or factual replacement for handwriting. A goal of the candidate
work is to analyse and evaluate the use of computer technology for knowledge
acquisition and transfer. The analysis will focus on various uses of computer
infrastructure, devices and technology for taking notes, the preparation of lessons,
schooling, training, educating, before, during and after class. The analysis will
be run from the point of view of different players in education, in and outside
classroomenvironments.
