Internet dominance over teaching
It was on the second day that we were shown with a short clip and
made the participants share what each has understood from the clips. It explains
that the teacher is no longer the source of information. The method of teaching
really does not provide the justice for the children’s learning as they are the
digital native’s student. It highlighted the dominance of the internet as a
source of the child’s learning. It has explained that, it is now the skill
focus teaching rather than content based.
It was there, we discussed on the 21st century skills.
The critical thinking, media literacy, communication, collaboration,
information literacy and creativity are the 21st century skills.
Therefore, our teaching learning processes should involve such skills rather than
sticking to the old traditional way of teaching. The children being born in
digital world have the ability to learn things in more creative way. Their
learning styles have changed and should our teaching styles, to meet the
changes. The ways of thinking, the ways of working and the tools for working
has really changed and we have to build accordingly. The children are more able
to reason out, demonstrate originality and become more inventiveness.
good start
