I know you must be anxious to find out a bit more about these new literacies of the 21st century or for us to gain further insight on this single sex school trend. Don’t worry we will come back to those hot issues later.
This course is coming to a close and many of us started at the bottom of the learning continuum ladder. We were novices and very reluctant to interface with the technology. By now I am sure that we have even passed the advance beginner with all this blogging. However, we are well on our way to becoming competent or proficient with a bit of forced and voluntary practice, that is our five lesson plans and using it in the classroom. Who knows maybe some of us will climb the ladder all the way to the top and become experts.
As you go back to your classrooms you need to ask this very pertinent question: Have you truly learnt about technology and of integrating it to aid the teaching of literacy? Well we won’t know unless we reflect after we have returned to our classrooms.
Do you remember Ed I from Teachers College- learning has occurred when there has been a change in behaviour. Thus, we need to have a change in our behaviour and teaching style. We must not let what we have learnt fall into the category of futile, quickly forgotten stuff that have been crammed into the mind.
I bid you farewell for now as we all engage in our practice that may hopefully make us competent to go to our various schools and share our new found knowledge.
P.S. Don't forget, we will get back to those hot issues later.
