With greater learning
and potential of new forms of communications made possible by emerging
technologies, it is vital that teachers comprehend how these tools may be
leveraged in the designing of purposeful integrative learning experiences to
crystalize students’ digital competencies and not merely subject mastery.
maybe that is the hurdle most teachers would need to cross: we are not just teaching for subject mastery but teaching children...:)
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed critical for teachers to fully understand how to maximise the use of the tools for the development of students' digital competencies. They need to be proficient themselves in using these tools to create a more meaningful lesson designs. They become learners themselves in this case.
ReplyDeleteI wonder though how efficient can teachers, who are not IT-savvy to begin with, pick up the skills to improve their students' learning experiences.
