We've always had our thoughts about why our favorite teachers were the best. Why others did not match up to him/her, why and how they did what they did best... :) This was just about the method of teaching. When technology is combined with teaching, we get a whole new animal. From professors who have never used a computer, to those who are abreast with cutting edge technology even before its on the market, we probably see them everyday.
Enough of picking on others.... now , maybe in a few years from now I'll be evaluated by the students of the then "today". When I face an interview board for a position that involves teaching, I must be marketable.....For a simpler reason, I should be able to speak the language of the student, which in tomorrows world, I'm afraid is gonna be technology ++
So oft I embark on this journey with fellow EDHI 9040 ers to try and get a grip of whats there outside, what am I going to stare at in a few years.... and what not.......
here we comeeeeeeee
We must be prepared, and you are off to a great start! Looking forward to following your reflections for the next few months.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right when you say technology will play a major role in the future. Students, because of their continued curiosity, always seem to be near the cutting edge. I too hope I can learn enough to keep up!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about the new technologies apart from computer projection technologies that I have seen in grad level sciences. Not many that I see. However I do think that to get interactive teaching aids at undergraduate level will have noticeable effect
