social working stie

I think Teacher 2.0 will be useful to my future teaching. Because Teacher 2.0 is an independent community for educators to explore their interests and passions, and to build a network of support for educators at all levels. Through this community, with online events, interviews, and workshops, I can help my students re-energized in their study and in their contributions to the world. Moreover, through the community, I can let my career become easier and more convenient. I can save a lot of time to manage technology problem and spend more time to pay more attention to my students. Furthermore, through the community, I can keep contact in my students’ study and give my feedback to them in time.

Personal Knowledge

     knowledge is comprised of a network, which feeds into organizations and institutions, which in turn feed back into the network, and then continue to provide learning to individual. This cycle of knowledge development (personal to network to organization) allows learners to remain current in their field through the connections they have formed.” Just as Siemens says, nowadays, learning is not individual or internal activity, however, learning is connectivism. People work through different perspectives, then they share their various perspectives through network. The learning also depends on non-human appliances, such as computers, personal blogs, internet and so on. So the learning needs continually maintenance and nurturing. Moreover, learners now have the decision to decide what to learn, because the information of learning is up date from time to time.

      “The network is the learning, ways we are connecting to other individuals is a  large relative to our ability to continually stay current merit.” Just as the video illustrates, network is the learning nowadays. People, groups, nodes can be connected to an integrated whole. So we can share our different ideas, opinions or perspectives through network. The network is a short connection between information. The network makes learning easier to access.

Connectivism

Classroom of Tomorrow

Classroom of Tomorrow

From the Video, I see many different scenes of the classrooms in the future. Students use smart phones, ipad, Projecter and so on to have class. They take the photos instead of taking notes. One of the amazing scene is that students can use the windows as information board to find information. 

    I think the classroom in the future has close relation to high technologies. With the development of high technology, the classroom in the future will be very interesting and attractive. However, meanwhile students may be easy to be distracted by high technology. So from my opinion, teachers should not depend too much on high technology.

Educational Change Challenge

Educational Change Challenge
  There is doubt that whether it is effective way for using technology to educate students. I think it is good ways of using online as one way of educating students. Just as the video displayed, there are many students in one big classroom and just have one teacher, so how teachers can every students attention. Thus to use technology can attract students attention and teachers can try their best to pay attention to all students in the class.
