Teaching technology to promote learning: Tools. Let's give them. In this decade of digital communication including texting, collaboration, social learning, presentations, wikis, rss feeds and blogs we must now make available to students and teachers tools that promote and enhance a style of teaching and learning that promote the development of skills. This style moves beyond the facts into explaining differences, seeing similarities, thinking creatively, working creatively with others, implementing innovations, reasoning effectively, making judgments and decisions, solving problems, communicating across cultural and country lines through collaboration with others.
It includes hyperlinked writing, digital citizenship, publishing, commenting, sharing, networking and much more. We pay a lot of lip service to “teaching students to be life long learners.” Where we fail is not making a shift from content driven curriculum and learning, to process driven curriculum and learning. A few examples that could be accomplished. Mrs. Karen is a high achiever. Mr. 100 Web 2.0 Ideas for Educators. My Top Ten e-Learning Tools. Web2.0 | Trendy Showcase.
