Neil Bradford – Featherstone high School London “Autology in my opinion is a highly innovative product which will play a major part in supporting and changing the way in which students learn. At our school it will play a major role in the transformation of learning as we commit heavily to a wireless network infrastructure supported with laptops available in over 50% of classrooms. Its search mechanism is extremely simple to use backed up with an incredible amount of content. Users can quickly find age related content from a variety of sources. Students that have been shown how to use Autology have been able to access relevant curriculum material easily and quickly. Many have expressed amazement at being provided with so much online revision material.”
Jim Smithson – Prince Rupert School Germany “We are living in the last of the age were a teacher can still maintain a semblance of a Victorian approach to their teaching style which has an emphasis on a didactic approach. When teaching a class greater than 10 students using chalk, talk and textbook the teacher cannot personalize their interaction. Students today though, are now becoming increasingly used to gathering information from digital sources. What Autology does is allow the teacher to become a facilitator and thus increase their personal interaction with individuals in their care.”
Roy Bentley - Washwood Heath School Birmingham “Where social processes fail to produce the desired result – perhaps through an inadequate experience of primary socialisation – the knowledge-building process cannot function properly, as the template for its operation is missing or fragmentary. I believe that the push technology deployed by Autology can help strengthen and correct this fragmentation, to give the child a better experience of "inner speech". Furthermore, push technologies do not render the child passive, as for instance a TV set does; they are like an exercise machine which strengthens mental muscles, so to speak, gradually pulling the locus of control nearer and nearer to the child. Moreover, the content Autology pulls into the student's writing frame is so well matched to the conceptual level at which s/he is working, that technology and mind are sutured together seamlessly (like Peter Pan and his shadow).”
