Students want to actively participate
“Partnering” is a pedagogical approach for the new educational landscape
Old Wine in New Bottles
Is a major shift in pedagogy – from telling to partnering
It doesn’t happen overnight
It’s a gradual shift
Teaching Digital Natives, March Prensky , 2010
The very opposite of teaching by telling
Teacher’s goal is to do no telling at all
Teacher gives students, in a variety of interesting ways, ?s to be answered, and in certain cases, suggestions of possible tools and places to start
Onus is completely on the students Teaching Digital Natives, March Prensky , 2010

Ask your class if they think you talk to much, or more than you need to.
Then ask for suggestions on how you could reduce the amount of time you talk at them.
Their ideas may surprise you!
