New Media is as a fantastic way to facilitate learning in today´s modern world. As teachers our role is changing, we are facilitators of learning and not simply people who teach students to absorb information.
By using New Media as a tool for learning, together with critical skills, the teaching and learning in my lessons has improved by 100%!!! Thus enabling my students to engage, access and use their knowledge and skills effectively. Most of them find the work challenging, engaging and also fun; allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of how they learn and also have the confidence to share this with others.
I like the statement made during the session that implies 'teachers are old and passed it' as I believe this is true (even at the tender age of 28)! We are, even though we may think we`re not! We need to move with times, technology and communication as it´s every changing!!
Also, this method of teaching allows students to think for themselves, work together and share skills. Many pupils know and understand concepts in a classroom situation for a specific purpose although New media allows them to take this thought further. Through analysing their performance and work, students surprise themselves by how much they actually retain and learn.
Twas an Excellent course Ed! Here's to New Media.
