I wanted to publicly share how impressed I am with how far our group has come in the 3 short days we have been together. We’re opening our minds, thinking out of the box while accepting and learning new tools for instructional delivery. A lot of light bulbs are lighting up in class!
The concept of realizing technology (the term) is getting a bad rap is a growing trend in our discussions. We continue building the connection that embedded technology needs to be ambiguous just as any other “old school” tool. However, these new tools, we are finding out, allow for a new set of skills and standards to be addressed in the hopes of providing students with the Global connections they need for the future.
Another accomplishment was an understanding of teaching the appropriate use of the tools while providing students with additional learning opportunities. While some have to look at this style of learning and assess the merits to decide if this is something for them, others are ready to give it a try! Time and the never-ending passion for learning will bring all to the same understanding as we continue to build our personal learning networks (PLN).
Yes, working together, we can begin to look at how and what we currently do that should be modified to meet the learning styles of students in our classes today.
I am looking forward to our future classes with the continued discussions and debates.
