'What we need is teachers who look people in the eye and believe in them'

27 juni 2015

In deze video van 20 minuten zie je de visie op onderwijs samengesteld door Ericsson, inderdaad de telecomgigant!  Hier wordt het verhaal verteld over de Future of Learning in relatie tot de 'networked society' die is ontstaan. Dat verhaal kennen we en is vooral een bevestiging. Maar Ericsson laat ook  een aantal nieuwe, inspirerende gezichtspunten op leren en onderwijs zien. Een kijktip van Nickel van der Vorm.

This is the first generation of people that work, play, think and learn differently than their parents...
They are the first generation to not be afraid of technology, it's like the air to them. Don Tapscott

Some other quotes:
What is want to see from schools is 'Get kids to want it'. Create an environment where kids are restless, till their need for information is satisfied. Theach kids to solve interesting problems, not to memorise problems that we have already solved.

I think the teacher has to stand back. And say: today's topics is this, open your notebook and found out for yourself.

What we need is teachers who look people in te eye and believe in them, and push them  forward. And it's hard to do that on the internet.
