Creating a New Culture of Teaching and Learning

Published by pdzone at 11:35 am under Uncategorized




Here is a webcast of a presentation by Alan November. He speaks about the need for change in how children receive an education. Some of the point he makes are about the need for:

  • higher standards
  • differentiated instruction
  • children to be “desperate to learn”

His use of the term “digital immigrant” reminded me of the articles by Marc Prensky, entitled Digital Natives. In it, he speaks about the need to recognize what students know and what students need in the world of increased technology use. The articles can be found below.
