Teaching Digital Natives

How’d You Do that?

Staying current with ideas for technology as a learning tool for your classroom.

You do not have to be an expert but you do need to be undaunted.

My fourth job in teaching, sometime in the 80”s

It’s a short trip from riding the waves of change to being torn apart by the waves of defeat.

Are you worried about Technology and Learning?

Relax The changes I suggest do not involve your expertise with technology or even adding another job to your already packed curriculum.

The change is attitudinal not technological.

Don’t be threatened when students know more than you.

•Acknowledging that your students know more than you gives them an increasingly important role that motivates and encourages student responsibility.

•Talk to them about the responsibilities of their new role.

Whose World are We Preparing our students for?

•Teachers see students differently

•Teachers are no longer the expert with all the skills and information.

•See students as partners in the learning process with a different but equal skill.

Student’s Role: An important discussion before you begin.

•Student’s have a new role that requires their responsibility.

• Teachers are partnering with their students.

•Must talk to them about the responsibility of their role.•The skills of both the teachers and the students require mutual respect.•Set the bar high, tell them expectations, create rubrics—they’ll love it!

•Students will focus on gathering information and presenting for an audience including their peers.

•Brainstorm with students acceptable behavior in this new model. What does it look like?
