How We Will Teach&Learn #MindShift

Brilliant post: Colaboration among united educators, ICT and blended or hybrid learning. Could it be more?

And what does it really mean?

  • “Teachers’ and students’ relationships are changing, as they learn from each other.
  • Teachers roles are shifting from owners of information to facilitators and guides to learning.
  • Educators are finding different ways of using class time.
  • Introverted students are finding ways to participate in class discussions online.
  • Different approaches to teaching are being used in the same class.
  • Students are getting a global perspective.”

Online Pedagogy

here I am again. I admire all my colleagues who work hard day and night. I am trying to keep the pace but it is hard. Interrupted by my responsibilities at school and by my private  life (strange, isn’t it?), I miss to post interesting ideas on the subject I am interested in.

This video is very true. It represents the third online pedagogy principle presented by Peltz. Teacher must be virtually present all the time.

No one individual is able to master a discipline.

“the importance of recognizing that no one individual is able to master a discipline. We all have gaps in our knowledge. To address this reality, we first need a shift in our mindsets. Or perhaps a more accurate concept – we need to let go of the notion that we can know a field in its entirety. All knowledge is in the connections – how we’ve connected concepts and how we are connected to other people and sources of information. To know is to be connected.”

The idea is certainly not new but the context definitely is. Should one think about the Web 3.0?
