This presentation discusses moving away from traditional pedagogy and embracing new tools and approaches to teaching and learning. The goal is to create a comfortable classroom environment where students can learn from mistakes, appreciate different perspectives through blogging, and collaborate using wikis. Various technologies are explored that can help facilitate classes involving discussions, projects, and feedback to encourage learning, unlearning and relearning.
