Empowering Students to Create and ContributeToday’s students live in a world where knowledge is at their fingertips. Their knowledge acquisition needs are no longer based on a “learn just in case” basis. Technology and internet access is ubiquitous and if they need to know something, they have their answers within moments of the questions being asked. Students now learn “just in time”; they find answers, facts and resources when they need them, not ‘just in case’ they need them. Education needs to accommodate to this new model of learning.
Innovative teachers today are now giving students the opportunity to become producers of knowledge, to share their understanding with the world. Web 2.0 tools and sophisticated cloud based computing gives students and teachers the facilities they need to create, collaborate and publish. On this site I endeavor to provide some ideas on how to empower both students and teachers to make the most of this remarkable opportunity. |
