«Le cours magistral, qui ne ferait que transmettre un savoir académique, est-il encore pertinent?»
Avec Internet, les connaissances sont disponibles et les longs monologues du professeur imposant un rythme unique d’apprentissage à des jeunes tous différents sont désormais jugés dépassés.
Les cours magistraux maintiendraient les élèves dans un état de passivité,
«transformer la salle de classe en un espace de discussion, où le professeur dirige les débats concernant les problèmes mentionnés dans le cas»
Ce qui permet aux jeunes d’exercer leur esprit critique plutôt que d’écouter benoîtement leur enseignant.
«Le rapport au savoir est en train de changer, et le professeur en a perdu le monopole»
«Les outils numériques ouvrent des possibilités de pédagogie à distance» et donnent «à chacun l’accès à une quantité énorme de connaissances, partout et à chaque instant». Pour être encore utile, l’enseignant doit donc se réinventer.
Il faut se préparer à une mutation de l’Enseignement supérieur ,où le rapport direct entre l’enseignant et l’étudiant sera privilégié dans le cadre de petits groupes de projets ou d’expériences»

"In recognition of World Teachers' Day, Google used its blog site to honor teachers worldwide, and to announce that as of October 1st, more than 200 million students, faculty and staff use Google Apps for Education. If you're not an educator or student, you may not know about Google Apps for Education, a free web-based email, calendar and documents service."
"There is no shortage of online tools aimed at teachers, many of which provide study materials and classroom exercises. Another such example is Quizdini, which sets itself apart from the rest of the crowd by being completely free and highly customisable.

"Twitter like all other social media is a virtual Aladdin's cave. It is a gateway to riches. But just like in the story, this Aladdin's cave is also booby-trapped. Use it right and you will come away with the genie of knowledge ready to do your bidding. Use it wrong and you will be a casualty of wasted time. So, 'rub' it just right. Long back, we had taken a look at how to use Twitter for business. Many of the methods hold true for learning as well."
"Google Docs, in addition to being a stellar way to write, store and manage your documents and slideshows, is also a fantastically useful way to collect survey data.
