As a student we are taught and educated a certain way, and those ways we are told will be how we will always do things. However, this is not the case. As the times change we begin to realize the methods we were taught when we were students are not the same as they are today. These are changing on a regular basis for many reasons and they will keep changing and developing. As many new and advanced forms of technology are introduced to today's society and schools it is making old methods become null and void. This is why learning to unlearn is so imperative and a necessary part of being a teacher and a student in someways.When you are a teacher you teach the same curriculum just about every year and your goal is make it new and exciting and fresh, both for you and your students, but when your given a new form of technology you have to use in your classroom you have to unlearn you previous methods and learn how to incorporate this technology in the classroom. Some teachers are hesitant to do so, but it is important to do so. If you don't learn to unlearn your job and your students may be at risk.
I completely agree that teaching is changing. Good post!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the world we live in is constantly changing. Because of advances in technology the way we teach changes. It also changes, however, because of research. They are constantly looking for new and better ways to communicate knowledge. When a better way is found I think it is important to try it.
