Myths of Web 2.0 in the Classroom
I read through a new post by Eric Langhorst, a history teacher from Missouri about the myths of using web2.0 tools in the classroom in slideshare today. Some points really hit the nerve.
Q: What is wrong with teaching my students the same way I was taught?
A: My students are living in the 21st century, not the 20th! Access to information had changed; Learning can take place anywhere and anytime; Ability to reach the students with mutiple learning styles; Students learn by practising high-order thinking skills.
Big Question: Does teaching this way get results?
The answer is YES!
