Cyber PedagogiesNow the focus is on the student

Víctor GonzálezInternational school of Bremen

Let's go back in time

What do we see?

Teacher-centered instruction

Memorization and drills

Teacher as the major source of knowledge

Leaders and educators of their students' school life

The ultimate unchallenged authority

The ruler, the master and the controller

What do we see?

Teacher = Feeder

The main source for information

And the vision of the world

Students in the 21st century

How should then factual knowledge be

transmitted in the 21st century?

And where is real learning taking

place?

21st century students have to:

1) Be independent and self-reliant

2) Be flexible and creative

3) Construct their own learning

How do we apply all this?

Teamwork

Experiments show that children in unsupervised groups are capable of answering questions many years ahead of the material they're learning in school. In fact, they seem to enjoy the absence of adult supervision, and they are very confident of finding the right answer.

Mi casa era muy grande, tenía un jardín enorme y una piscina.

En invierno nevaba mucho, pero en verano hacía mucho calor.

An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being an idea at all.

Learning by teaching

Docendo Discimus

Seneca

By learning we teach

Leader in learning by teaching

1) Research shows that teaching is a fruitful way to learn

2) We have to design innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction

How do we do all this?

1) Guide them

What is guidance?

Constructivism

2) Exploit and explore technology

Digital literacy for both students and teachers is less about the tools and more about thinking

3) Boost innovation through multimedia projects

1. Merging significant educational content with play. 2. Active learning engagement.

3. Achieving personal meaningful goals.

4. Boosting collaboration, communication, problem solving and digital literacy.

5. Presenting real world problems to help critical thinking.

Benefits

HowardGardner

Technology accomodates all types of intelligences

4) Enhance reality

5) Welcome error and learn from it

6) Unleash empathy

“if schools are involved in intellectual development, they are inherently involved in emotional development”

“A student’s emotions coming into the class affect the way, and how much they learn. Educators must be able to connect to, and understand their students in order to best serve those students' needs”

C. Hinton

School in the 20th century was about uniformity, standardisation and synchronization of behaviour. Children were put through by the state to ensure they became compliant to authority, inculcated into the skills of reading, writing and numeracy, and systematically instructed.

This was not education. It was indoctrination.

"Each time one prematurely teaches a child something he could have discovered for himself, that child is kept from inventing it and consequently from understanding it completely."

Jean Piaget
