ICT, Learning Technologies, Digital Learning, Web 2.0 Apps, collaboration, communication – these are all the buzz words of 21st century teaching. Teachers are getting dizzy from all the new possibilities that are available to them – and tend to flutter around, butterfly fashion, from one “flower” to the next, without any real agenda of why they are doing what they are doing.
For me, it all stems out from my philosophy about education. From my “Credo”.
I believe that education should instill
• Intellectual curiosity
• Creativity
• An awareness of ambiguity and
• The desire to pursue that ambiguity in order either to solve it or to acknowledge it
o Autonomously or
o Collaboratively
Education is the process rather than the outcome (…that’s not an original thought…)
And so….
ICT, Learning Technologies, Digital Learning, Web 2.0 Apps, collaboration and communication enable me to deal with the PROCESS of learning.
As an EFL teacher – ICT enables me to DO English rather than Teach English
Now – if I were to put this in a Prezi – would it bemore effective for my readers?
