Same Dog...Not Even New Tricks
I am worried. I am attending a staff development to learn about how to ensure we are teaching students the objectives correctly. However, the entire training is being taught as a "sage on the stage" concept. The presenter (whom is really talented, full of information, and nice) has a power point and in front of us is a paper copy of the power point (even the title and pausing slides). She is speaking, we are listening, and occasionally we are ask to discuss in our groups and write on sticky notes. Whoa! What is the message we are sending? The teaching method developed as a result of the Industrical Revolution (with the exception of power points and sticky notes) is the best we have? Are we teaching educators to teach the digital learner? It brings me back to my questions...what is the next great thing and how to we get there?
