After listening to George Couros speak it became ever so clear to my work colleague and I that the students are evolving faster than we give them credit for. After school hours there is a tremendous amount of learning going on through the internet, games, and applications to only name a few. As a technological world we are extremely fortunate to have inclusive applications that can bring learning to life for all types of learners. No longer are we only communicating with peers in our class but learners from all over the world are just a click away.
Mr. Couros is a prime example of how learning can be extended from not only classroom to classroom but from schools and scholars around the world. Learning is no longer stagnant to the community and environment in which we live but it is dynamic in the sense that it never stops moving forward.
If we fail to modify our learning goals as educators we will be stuck in the “old school” generation; without adaptation our “new school” students may be stuck teaching us more than learning from us!
