Dimensions of Change
The document discusses trends driving the need for changes in education, including the rise of social and intellectual capital as economic values and the increasing speed of communication and advancement through technology. It notes that by 2011, 80% of Fortune 500 companies will be using immersive virtual worlds. It advocates for shifting education to focus on personal learning networks, community learning both in and out of the classroom, teaching as a collaborative practice, and a learning focus rather than a teaching focus.
Nuturing
The document discusses skills needed for the 21st century history teacher. It argues we are moving from a left-brain focus on order and logic to right-brain skills like creativity and innovation. Teachers need to incorporate more complex communication, collaboration, and expert thinking into lessons to prepare students. If teachers continue only using traditional "paper training" and avoid collaborative assignments, they are not teaching the skills students need for the future.
Nuturing
The document discusses the need for history teachers to shift from a left-brain focus on order and logic to nurturing right-brain skills like creativity and innovation. As complex communication and expert thinking skills are increasingly demanded, teachers must avoid solely using traditional "paper training" and instead incorporate more collaborative assignments. The document also recommends teachers use online communities and multimedia tools already available to engage students in history, have students produce their own media, and learn from collaborating with other departments.
Basics of Online teaching
Online education allows for flexibility in time and location but lacks physical tutoring. It can include various multimedia like video, audio, and live chats. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread school closures, increasing the need for e-learning and remote teaching through digital platforms. Online learning has been shown to increase information retention and take less time. Requirements for effective online education include a suitable workplace, device, reliable internet access, applications for video conferencing and sharing content, and preparing content in advance for lessons.
