Keynote
We all know the song, it's been around for years. It's all about learning and improving learning outcomes for our kids. Always at the very core of what we are on about as teachers.
But hang on a minute...digital media technologies have made kids different. These technologies have fundamentally changed the nature of thinking, communication and expression for today’s learners.
Are we setting up the best possible learning environments to provide more compelling learning experiences for our kids?
Are we being more reflective about why are we using digital media (ICT)?
Maybe the song needs an added verse, perhaps a remix.
