As a teacher, I agree that we need to move away from lecturing, but we need to be wary of “edutainment”. Students MUST master basic skills while working on the three “C’s” mentioned in this video. Too many students are coming out of the elementary grades without basic math and reading skills. Programs like Chicago Everyday math are putting our kids in a terrible situation because they do not establish a foundation for middle school & high school students to compete with the Chinese and Indians.

This video rightfully questions some teacher’s style of teaching. In the 21st century, teachers should always be open to social change, classroom change and world change.
 
mikekepple Great video especially for teachers who are entering the classroom for the first time. The traditional way of teaching will no longer be relevant in the coming years.

This video is well done. As a progressive school district, we are heading in the direction of this type of educational shift. Susan Patrick is speaking to our community/district this summer. It is an exciting time to be in education, but this change will be met with a lot of political and historical roadblocks. One of them includes teachers saying, “Where can I add this technology stuff into my already full day?” We also have teacher prep. schools still training teachers in the 20th Century.

As an administrator of an Elementary school in BC Canada, I often respond to this question by asking educators, “What are they are willing to let go of in their practice to utilize these tools that truly engage students?”

Well done. Allow our students the same access to technology in school that they have outside of school. It’s time to move forward with new paradigms for learning and embrace 21st century technology learning skills.

See what Sue Waters has to say about: Are you confused about the point of a blog page?

Or perhaps you’ve been trying to separate topics or classes on your blog using pages but are struggling to get it to work how you would like.
