discussion on new technology high is all based on learning while using technology. although learning is the most important aspect. technology is heavily integrated as a tool for discovery, collaboration and communication.
I love the idea of "reinventing" assignments and knowing that it is always changing and evolving. There are many issues that can come up when establishing a new technology based classroom but I think that you are right to keep an open mind and not be afraid to ask questions or for help from others.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you need to keep a positive attitude while learning the new technology that you are going to have to help your students with. Its super important to keep up with the ever-changing technology that is all around us, and with PBL some teachers might have a few problems adjusting but its well worth it, i think.
