Anti-Teaching Blog

First, I loved this article. It talks about everything we have been addressing at Full Sail. I feel that schools today need a great balance of teaching from the teacher and the students working independently. Through the use of keynotes, podcasts and imovies teachers could present material to students and then have them work on a project to show there understanding. This way the teacher still has that teaching aspect but the learning as more control and responsibility. I see that we are moving towards this but with hesitation. I believe mostly do to testing. The public and administrators want to see numbers and how many students were able to complete this task, etc. This can be done with making school more learner focused but it will take time and understand once this is in place we can move forward. The classes I have taken thus far have shown me how easy it is to incorporate technology into the classroom. I an excited about my action research project where I will actually get to test out my idea and see how it affects student learning.
