Did you know?
And so… what is our role as teachers in the 21st century? What is your role as a students? And the parents of students, what should they be demanding of the system?
It’s a brave new world out there. And while the change is profound, it doesn’t necessarily mean that we throw out all that we know about teaching and learning. Even though the question “why do we have to learn this stuff?” will persist, the answer (it’s not the information, it’s the process you come by it) is no less correct now than a hundred years ago. Or ten.
I don’t think we as teachers (or we as an education system) have done enough to explain why we do what we do, or why it’s important for you (the student) to do it as well.
