Week 1- Prensky-learning styles.
I have found Prensky's articles and ideas very interesting. I would consider myself digital immigrant but i guess it depends on your personality and the money you want to spend on the technology, there is so much on offer everywhere. I am not natural with technology but after reading the articles and also after myself experiencing the situtaion at school, it is pretty convincing that things need to change. I agree that the teachers need to adapt to kids and not the other way around. There are generally 30 kids in the class and only one teacher, so it is clear who is going to win, the teachers need to play according to the new rules. The students have a right to be bored and have a right to protest against something they no longer relate to. We, as teachers should be happy that the kids have courage to protest and express opinions, we only need to learn how to work with them and that way they will learn, we could also learn with them, kids will be more than happy to show us how to use some programs as long as they will see that are making an effort to communicate in their language. Why not learn something new?life is about learning, lets learn together with students, lets make a difference successfully and meaningfully.
