Well, this
was my first experience with “blogging.” And I could say that was not difficult
at all and as I start to get into it little by little, the possibilities to use
it into my class are multiple and varied. The use of electronic tools and
applications are going to make classrooms more attractive, efficient and challenging.
Our students are digital natives, fully immersed in technology, our mission as
teachers is to accept this digital revolution and take it into our classroom. Students
consequently are going to have a more participatory experience in their
learning experience, interacting with their peers and accessing to infinite
learning resources. Consequently our classroom is going to be an environment
for building and sharing knowledge.
Hi Rottner, I think you hit the nail on the head when you say that our students are digital natives, and we have to update the way that we teach in order to engage them. That doesn't mean we throw away every old, but it does mean incorporating new tools and techniques into our teaching and finding ways to reach our students in a language they understand (and respond to!)
ReplyDeleteNew technology can seem really scary, but it's usually not as difficult as we think it will be. It's often the fear of the unknown that keeps us from moving forward!
