A Blog with a View

Recently in our E-learning tutorials we have been discussing our views about student learning. We have talked about how students learn and how technology can improve learning.

I believe students learn best when they are engaged, involved and learning relevant skills and knowledge. If used effectively, technology can be an integral part of student learning.

The YouTube clip A Vision of K-12 Students Today supports my views about learning and shows that technology is extremely relevant to ’21st century learners’. Technology has become a common aspect of their lives and they want to use it to help them learn and engage. For example, we see a learner who prefers to listen to Harry Potter on his Ipod rather than reading it from a book. This shows how technology can enhance and improve learning.

The most important thing I have learnt is that teachers need to focus on how students’ learn. Teachers should regularly reflect on their approaches to teaching and learning and actively talk to students about how they want to learn.
