Designing Learning Spaces for Instruction, not Control : June 2009 : THE Journal

  • So while we are implementing more new technologies that are flexible and mobile, it is important for us to examine the learning spaces within which students use that technology. Do we seem to be conflicted or caught between two worlds? As long as we retain the idea that the flow of information is from the teacher while students are the receivers of this information, we will never maximize the potential of new technology that can support students being front and center of the process and continuous participants in their own and the collaborative learning of the group. Teachers must begin to really understand that learning can now be continuous and without boundaries, and learning environments should look like we believe it.

Week 1 - Any Questions or Comments about Social Bookmarking? | Diigo

  • Dear João, I guess what we cannot lose focus is on the most fundamental piece of the edtech world, our students! We need to guide them to be more autonomous in their learning, but we cannot just "throw" things for them and think that they will find their way around. They first need modeling. Then, yes, they will be more confident to try out different tech tools that suit their needs and interests. Otherwise, we could be the ones who totally turn them off with our tech excitement! That's what I always have in mind, the human factor. I guess it makes a difference. - carlaarena on 2008-06-24
