There are again two topics for tonight’s #Edchat which are very close on the votes but also very close from the topic itself.
If lessons aren’t engaging students, shouldn’t we address that, as opposed to blaming the Internet or Technology for being a distraction?
How are we as educators preparing our students for a technology rich & technology competitive society?
For all of you who visit my blog for the first time a little bit about myself and the perspective I will approach this topic from. Beside this education 2.0 blog of mine where I try to cover most of the things happening on the business sector of online education I am an independent language coach. For about 3 years I teach about 90% of my lessons online. I am specialized in conversational lessons with adults from around the globe. I used to teach children and teenagers offline for about 4 years, too.
Therefore my view on the #Edchat topic is from the edupreneurial point, the view of an independent language coach who uses the internet as teaching platform 7/7.
So with no further ado here are my thoughts on the two topics. I hope you get something out of it.
