I chose this image to represent the frustration that many students face when trying to acquire new knowledge with the old way of teaching. They see a mountain of knowledge in front of them, and they may feel overwhelmed and lost in the information-no connections are there. Our job is to try and use technology, along with meaningful information, to try and get them to take that step. I also chose this image because it demonstrates the importance of using problem solving, and it represents individuality. Not all students are going to reach the top of the mountain the same way. Some may build a ladder, and others may fly.
I hope I posted this in the right place!
ReplyDeleteWow! I really like that picture, and I think it really embraces the "gap" for students... but also for teachers! I think many teachers who are not "digital natives" may be standing up on top of that cliff and thinking, how am I going to get all those children up here????
