Several basic concepts of the digital age require unlearning. Teachers need to unlearn that learning only occurs in schools; students learn outside of the classroom as well. Connected learning allows the learner to construct knowledge through passive knowledge for, active knowledge in, and reflective knowledge of strategies. Teachers are used to the old ways of teaching and it may often be difficult to basically forget all of those different strategies of teaching. Technology is changing the way students and teachers learn in the classroom and outside of the classroom; teachers have to adapt to the changes.
I strongly agree with what you said about the fact that students dont know how to read or write as well as in the past because they are not practicing or learning how to. Our world is completely revolving around technology and we are unlearning important basics that will harm us later in life.
ReplyDeleteYou made a really good point when saying children do not read or write as well as they used to. Technology is a great thing but we need to remember to teach the important things too.
ReplyDeleteI also feel that technology is changing the way students and teachers learn in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when you say that because of technology, children are not learning to read and write as well as they used to. You can see the effects that SpellCheck has had on our generation by the number of words that people spell wrong in their comments on various blog posts. You can imagine how new technology is going to make us even less able to communicate by writing.
