Its about using the power of technology to access information, create engaging communication, in a meaningful endevor to understand and apply knowledge. Students need to engage in learning full on, with their passion, with their curiosity.<br /><br />We need the curriculum, the resources (learning, knowledge, tech tools), the support (mentorship, supervision, continuous improvement) and our passion to create learning environments that set the agenda. That agenda - build your skills and knowledge to realize your full potential, to fully participate and contribute to yourself, your family and your community.<br /><br />PhilPhil Switzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042825474735201423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10536145.post-74267369679878655432010-08-26T12:37:25.020-07:002010-08-26T12:37:25.020-07:00Change is coming, or rather, change is already her...Change is coming, or rather, change is already here. Technology doesn't, inherently, change the act of learning, although it may affect the delivery of instruction or knowledge. And so you conclude that students need to change how they think about and engage with their education.<br /><br />If students behave as they do now, it's either natural to them, due to the system within which they function, or because that's how they were taught (or trained).<br /><br />So how do you suggest we influence students to engage differently with their education?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12961149077824073687noreply@blogger.com
