Title: The Challenge of On-Line Teaching in a Connected World


1
The Challenge of On-Line Teaching in a Connected
World
2
The world is changing
  • What opportunities will exist for children when
    they are adults?
  • So what education do they need?

3
Students need to develop a voice!
  • Know themselves Know the world Critically and
    Responsibly take their place in the world.

4
Kids are changing
  • Prensky, M. (2001, Oct. ) Digital Natives,
    Digital Immigrants.
  • today's students think and process information
    fundamentally differently from their
    predecessors
  • And, interestingly enough, it turns out that one
    of the few structures capable of meeting the
    Digital Natives changing learning needs and
    requirements is the very video and computer games
    they so enjoy. This is why Digital Game-Based
    Learning is beginning to emerge and thrive.

Pedagogic Issues
  • Language Learning
  • Media Literacy
  • Online Life
  • Heterogeneous Learners
  • Reflective Thinking
  • Cross Cultural Awareness

13
Language Learning
  • Language is our unique gift. But which one? The
    ones that enable us to express who we are AND
    give us the voice to express the need for change

14
Media Literacy
  • What do different people mean when they use the
    same words? What does a picture mean? How can we
    use different media?

15
Online Life
  • Multiple identities with different rules and
    different societies

16
Heterogeneous Learners
  • Can we predict the life path for each child? Can
    we distinguish between them? So why do we teach
    them as if they are identical?

17
Reflective Thinking
  • Think, not copy! Learn to find new meanings and
    new knowledge to tell life stories

18
Cross Cultural Awareness
  • Know and Respect differences, find communities of
    interest, and a common voice for change

19
This is the Challenge
  • Give the students the voice they will need to
    find their path and play their part in the
    changing world of tomorrow

20
Cases
  • English as Foreign Language Teachers
  • Authentic language, cultural context of language
  • 1st Year Computing Students

    contexts
