[Yr7-10it] new learning

[Kent Beveridge]

Interesting point you raise here...
I think it was on Current affair last night about Stanford Uni(?) offering a $50,000 course on Facebook. Seemed more like an overated self promo than anything else to me.  They didnt disclose any of the content or sample work done. Anyway, isnt this a typical case of those who 'can' afford it vs those who 'cant' ...ie the 'digital divide'...the very thing we are trying to bridge? Also, this course as shown on TV didnt make it clear if this was part of a larger course such as undergrad or postgrad studies.

Hi everyone,
 
What are your thoughts about the application of the New Learning paradigm to pedagogy in schools - e.g students nowadays are surrounded my technology, through myspace, you tube, instant messaging, second life. Because of this increase in technology, there has been a fundamental disconnect between the way students think, learn and communicate and the way in which schools interact with them.


With this increase in technology within our world, the traditional approach in teaching and learning is no longer a choice because of this technological approach to education.

 

Thanks,

Jenna
