REFLECTION ON PRENSKYS : ENGAGE OR ENRAGE : CONNECTIVISM

Reflection on Prenskys:

     Today’s curriculum does not suit today’s students. I agree with Prenskys thought’s. Teachers today are Digital Immigrants. My belief and understanding on today’s students are they are all mostly digital natives. They understand technology from a young age. Teachers on the other hand have not been bought up with the skills and knowledge of technology. For students to excel in their school work teachers need to know and be aware of how to teach them new skills in ICT. The curriculum of the past is not for the future it needs to be reassessed

Engage or Enraged Argument…
It best describes the students of today Engage kids or enrage them. You are dealing with a new generation. Make it exciting. Use tools and other teaching methods that get them excited. Look at them as individuals and find out what it is that will engage them and get them to participate. For some students a teaching method may work but for others you might have to think of another way.

Reflection on Connectivism

I do agree that a learner does need to know how to find the information they are looking for. Information is changing all the time. And we are living in a digital age where life will also change. This is used in class rooms all the time students research online searching the web for facts and information for assignments.
