Ah yes, the crux of it all -- how do I bring all of this wonderful discovery to life. The open sources are amazing. Wikis, blogs, and web quests certainly need to be used. And if nothing else, my vantage point regarding my student's cell phones and laptops is fresh and new -- enlightened.
I do not want to lose the valuable tools that I have encountered during this course, but we all know the tendency to forget and go back to what we used to do. I hate that.
Curtis Bonk wrote about how WE-ALL-LEARN. I am coming to discover that he is completely right. The only question remaining is how we will experience it -- with a 20th century teacher or a 21st century one.
“Learning should be active, fun, and filled with creative expression” (Bonk, 2009). How sad that we have to admit how un-fun most of our educational time is and still is for learners.
I'm willing to work on it! It can be better!
