This Thursday is the December #4Change Chat!
Education and it’s discontents are being changed by new ways of learning – much of it by new ways of creating, sharing and validating information and knowledge online. Tools and methods are being customized, adapted and remixed for various educational contexts. Classrooms are no longer bound by geography. But there are still barriers, still challenges – some of which we may not be able to predict. How can we attend to these?
This chat will cover the changing role(s) of teachers, institutions and learners – and how they are affected and transformed by new/social media.
