Flipped Learning
Flipped Learning is a form of blended learning where students learn their lessons at home by watching video lectures and studying content online, and then doing their homework in class. Basically instead of learning directly from the…[Read more] -

7.3 4 – new things and new ways – what do emerging trends show us 9 years, 5 months agoTablet Computing.
There is an increasing inclination towards Tablet computing, which presents new opportunities to enhance learning experiences in ways simply not possible with mobile phones, laptops or desktops and is especially suited for one-to-one learning environments. High-resolution screens allow users of tablets, such as the iPad and…[Read more]-

Education systems are increasingly investigating the use of technology to better understand a student’s knowledge base from prior learning and to tailor teaching to both address learning gaps as well as learning styles. This focus transforms a classroom from one that teaches to the m…[Read more]-

7.3 4 – new things and new ways – what do emerging trends show us 9 years, 5 months agoThese technologies have become a pervasive part of everyday life in much of the world, and are growing everywhere. Students have ever-increasing expectations of being able to work, play and learn on these devices whenever they want and wherever they may be. Once banned from the classroom in some developed countries, mobile devices and apps are…[Read more]

Social media is one of the pervasive technologies. As much as schools and institutions block their use, students always find a way of accessing them for their own benefit. Teachers need to utilise this and use it profitably for students’ learning and achievement.

I agree entirely.

4.1 Changing Landscape 10 years, 7 months agoHello members, I have watched the two videos and as the two videos put it, digitization has put a lot of information at a disposal for our learners thus bringing learning from a completely different dimension. This as brought out by the two videos has been discovered by our learners and they have come to look at our mode of delivery in classrooms…[Read more]

Indeed Fiona the the information at our disposal is enormous. However our role then as teachers is to guide our students on how to access authentic information and guard them against any form of exploitations that may arise from exloring the digital landscae.
-
yaah that’s the best way to go, but when we plan we need to cater for all what is required regardless of the challenges.
-
I agree with you Walter, there is need for planning and taking our students through what they should expect. We should caution them of the dangers they are likely to face.

4.1 Changing Landscape 10 years, 7 months agoThe videos are highlighting the goodness of net searching, how easily one can access information but cautioning us teachers that as much as the students can get everything just by googling, they are prone to get wrong information, meet challenges such as cyber bullying where many teenagers have fallen victims to imposter accounts, sexual slur,…[Read more]

This is well-said. You are identifying your challenge for this course. What about the positives? How does the digital landscape offer our students opportunities?
-
Thanks Gerald, the positives are that they can access a lot of great staff from good sources, such as first class universities, the class is everywhere as long as they have the gadgets, can collaborate with others and can communicate with others within the twinkle of an eye, among others.

-
its very true, some times you find students arguing about a very wrong concept, simply because they accessed it from the internet, so a lot of guidance and help is needed as students collect data as from the videos
