Week 2 Posting

In the last two lessons you have seen samples of how to teach something on-line, whether technical stuff like html or general readings like history statistics etc and how to lead on-line discussion forums. Many educators say that the last great innovation in education was the invention of the printing press-that is until now. The world wide web is a new mode comparable to invention of the printing press.

The videos from lesson 1-2 'Did You Know' and 'Help desk' both address these questions. The first video ends with the words

'Shift Happens'

This refers to a shift in education. Discuss these points of the videos. Do you agree with this? What do you think of the affect of technology on education or teaching? Has it affected how and what is being taught in the school? Will it in the future? How has technology affected you? Do you put things (publish) on the internet?
