Why is Learning Teaching Different Today?

Human beings have a desire to learn and develop from the moment they are born.Exploration, trial and error, testing the world around us, being in control are in our DNA

We used to rely on teachers to provide knowledge and understanding but today we have technologyTeaching used to be standard for everyone to prepare us for a job for life

Today teaching has to be personalised, student-centred to prepare us for a rapidly changing worldMany jobs that need human skills today will not exist in a few years

Technology has Changed Everything

The teacher is a guide / coach / mentor

Learning is self-directed, 24/7 anytime, anywhere activity

The flipped classroom idea (students as teachers)

Education as a preparation for life challenges (not for remembering facts)

Gamification used as a strategy to engage and motivate –Play with Purpose

What are Most Popular/significant Technologies for Learning Today?

Laptops / Computers (portable, accessible)

Mobile phones (portable, accessible, easy to access)

Internet (Google, social media)

Video Games (test and develop skills, fun to use)

Cloud computing and artificial intelligence (24/7, personal)
