As we near the end of 2011, I thought I would invite you to add to this post by linking and reflecting on the tools that have most transformed your classrooms this year.
he internet is a pedagogic engine, changing and shaping the way we
learn. In this sense, we’ve had more pedagogic change in the last 10 years than
in the last 1000 years – all driven by innovation in technology.
7. Youtube – less is more and ‘knowing how’
YouTube has changed the way we use video in learning for
ever.
8. Games
Games have
brought the proven sophistication of flight simulation into our homes and shown
that failure (abhorred in traditional teaching) is the key to learning.
9. Tools
This is not
often recognised but the word processor, spreadsheet and presentation tools
have effected a considerable change on pedagogy.
10. Open source
Conclusion
These are ground breaking shifts in the way we learn.
Unfortunately, they’re not matched by the way we teach. The growing gap between
teaching practice and learning practice is acute and growing.
it's the fundamental
simplicity of the "iPad experience." And that experience is a combination of the 9.7-inch screen, the touch interface combined
with the Safari Web browser, the instant-on capability and never having to worry about battery life.
