CAROL’S SUMMARY:
All of learning is changing because of technology. The more that we as educators, authors and administrators understand the way students learn and the need to have a learning “experienceâ€, the more students will be motivated, engaged and challenged. Here are questions to consider:
What changes might you need to make to harness this potential?
1) How will you have to be different?
2) How will your students need to interact as teams?
3) How will you measure the outcomes of this new learning world versus the more lecture-based formats of the last one hundred years?
4) How can more students who struggle show their ability and their knowledge through technology?
