The best teachers always innovate.

This video says it all. No need to comment. Do you agree?

Can technology be a motivating source for students?

I found this on You Tube and it is very interesting what Zoe says. Students need novelties!
However I have two questions:
Are only new technologies helpful in getting students interest?
Or is it the way how we use them?

So we are preparing our students for ... what?

 

Here are some questions:

What and how to teach? Will it be useful in a few years? Should we teach facts or abilities? Creativity will be one of the most impotant abilities if it's not already. Are schools ready for a change? Are we teachers ready for changes?

Are you learning things that are useful? Or things you have to? Would you like you school to be more open to technologies? Would it help your personal/educational development?
