Still busy, busy, busy and that's why I didn't write anything yesterday, and I cheated the day before.
Anyway, we've seen that today's kids learn differently from how we did. But, what exactly do we mean by learn? Actually, people learn now and have learned forever in exactly the same way: and that's by experience. What is changing now is how people uptake information.
If our kids uptake and process information in a different way, then it does no good if we go on teaching the same way we used to. There's no point in scolding or fussing or complaining that they don't pay attention; what we need to do is start speaking the students' language. And that language is precisely technology.
And on that note I will leave you until Monday. Have a good weekend!

Yes Dixie, my highschool ss learn in such a different way, I'm not very sure if they really learned ha! just because they passed their exam with a 7 or 8 doesn't convince me of their learning process....... i'm almost sure they just answered because of a normal process, but i'd like to wait until next semester to tell you about it.
see you , happy christmas!
