Reflection from Hidayah

As we move towards a shift in the education landscape, we have to be well equipped about the fundamentals and the ecosystem of how the tools and applications function. Only then can effective teaching and learning take place. As a teacher, we need to be prepared that what we want to teach may be taken to another level when our students explore other platforms to extend their learning experience. It is then crucial that the teacher be the pivotal point to assess what is relevant.

My insight

The morning session reinforced the importance to know the ins and outs of the internet to be an informed educator. One can stay ignorant but he will become irrelevant and disconnect from his students. Educators function in an ever-changing context and profile of students. Hence teachers' professional development should include digital competency too.
