Student Panel February 21, 2009
Posted by Matthew Woolums in 21st-Century, Conference Sessions.trackback
The following quotes are paraphrased from a panel of high school students responding to questions posed by attending teachers and administrators:
- It isn’t about the teaching style as it is about being effective with your style.
- You need to be in charge of your own learning and not just regurgitate what the teacher tells you.
- You can’t avoid using the Internet.
- Students use iPods and cell phones. It would be great if teachers were creative enough to embrace those. Exmaple of students texting answers to a question, projected up on the board for classroom discussions.
- People learn in different ways.
- Technology is a necessary part of work and school.
- Be more flexible and embrace new technology.
- Strike a balance between the new and the traditional. There is a place for both.
- Your students might be in a job that doesn’t exist until tomorrow.
- Constructivist learning goes hand-in-hand with technology.
- Technology Rocks!
