Teaching & Learning
“…today’s students, of almost any
age, are far ahead of their
teachers in computer
literacy. They prefer to
access subject information on the Internet, where it is
more abundant, more
accessible and more up-to-
date.”National Technology
Plan, 2005

“The kind of questioning,
collaborative, active, lateral rather than
hierarchical pedagogy that participatory media both forces and enables
is not the kind of change that takes places
quickly or at all in public schools.”

“What changes must we make in our teaching as it becomes easier to bring primary resources to our students?
How do we need to rethink our ideas of literacy when we must prepare our students to become not only readers and writers, but editors and collaborators and publishers as well?
What needs to change about our curriculum when our students have the ability to reach far beyond our classroom walls?
How can we as learners begin to take advantage of the opportunities these tools present, so we may understand more clearly the pedagogies of using them in the classroom?”

Networks
An environment you create for yourself around a passionate interest or topic. It allows you
to connect with others who have the same interest and build a community that exceeds walls or geographic boundaries. You are
providing yourself with access to relevant information from a variety of sources, whose
value you determine.
