- Just what exactly are these things like MOOCs, Badges, Crowd Learning that the authors are talking about?
- What is this report telling us about teaching and learning?
- How does it affect you as a teacher?
- How does it affect you as a learner?
1.
MOOC- massive open online courses
Badged-badges provide a way to recognize achievement (trophy)
Crowd learning- Crowd learning involves harnessing the knowledge and expertise of many people in order to answer questions or address immediate problems.
2.
It is telling us that learning is developing based on our new technologies and what actually works for a variety of students. So teaching should also evolve to meet these students needs.
3.
If teaching needs to evolve then my teaching needs to go along with it. We can not teach the way we were taught. Students need to have richer and more engaging experiences to really grow their love for learning and their knowledge base.
4.
I have already been affected by these changes as a learner. How often do I rely on the internet to answer my questions? How often do I use technology? These methods are already apart of my life, why not my teaching?
