I found a very interesting article on the blog 2c worth. David Warlick has been running two polls over the past few days —
His first poll question asked us to consider whether a teacher could be a good teacher without using technology. The second question, “Is that teacher, who is not using technology, doing his or her job?” Have a look at his post to see the results. Interesting!
He articulates that today students must become information artisans - able to learn, work, play, contribute, and prosper in a new and constantly changing and enriching information environment, and do so in a way that conserves the planet — rather than consume it. He argues that we cannot do this by scratching and printing on pulp-based paper. Teaching and learning must be digital. If you don’t want to do technology, if you’re not good at technology, then find another calling.
What do you think?
