During
my previous post I was sharing ideas about digital children. I should say, that
was great. I am still under the impression. I wish our schoolchildren in
Armenia were like them. But let`s hope, I am sure they are going to be like
them at least many of our children. My today`s post is connected with
self-learning.Actually
I listened to Sugata Mitra`s talk about self-learning. I was
happily surprised that many children were able to learn lots of things
connected with new technology and what is unknown to them by
themselves. Many teachers do not want to spend their time in poor
places.As he mentioned children will learn to do what they want to learn to do.
I think that idea was the greatest one. During his experiment in Dally he left
the computer for two months and children were able to learn to use it by themselves
in four hours. He said one very important things when children have interest
then education happens. So it means that we can use new technology within the
classrooms as our children will be more motivated.
Blogging is one the tools which can be very helpful. As famous blogger and educator Will
Richardson mentioned blogging is a genre that engage students and adults in a
process of thinking in words. Blogs promote analytical and
critical thinking, also promote creativity and so on. Keeping blogs can be much
more easier especially for teachers as they save paper. Not only teachers but
schoolchildren as well can update reflections and conversations in blogs. I
think that would be great. But I cannot image to do all that stuff in Armenia.
Many teachers are not able to use computers. Talking about myself I should say
I have to go deeper into the subject in order to use it during classes. I do
not think that now I am ready to use blogs during my classes every day. As it
depends on my class for sure.
