Polyphonic Teaching with Digital Learning Tools | Edutopia - 0 views

  • To understand the framework, it is important to be aware that no form of teaching per se is better than the others. When the teacher plans her teaching, she must choose which of the three forms she wants to practice, based on pedagogical reflections on educational philosophy, the overall purpose of education, the learning objectives and the teacher's and students' prerequisites.
  • In the polyphonic form, the objective is for students and teachers to gain mutual understanding and knowledge through dialogue and collaboration where both parties act as co-learners.
  • Communication within this form of teaching thus becomes polyphonic, and is initiated and controlled by both teacher and students.

  • comprehension declined as the number of links increased
  • When the load exceeds our mind’s ability to process and store it, we’re unable to retain the information or to draw connections with other memories.
    • Charles Black
       
      I think this is another big problem in education - information overload. Students may not be able to remember things quick enough, and so much information is out there online that it can be hard to navigate through it all.
