Using Technology to Raise Cultural Awareness

Using Technology to Raise Cultural Awareness | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From www.tmenglish.org - April 19, 2012 2:49 PM

I am from the UK, but I live and work in Curitiba in the south of Brazil. I have found that students are often very interested in how things are done in different countries...

 

This means that cultural awareness was a part of my teaching long before the current obsession with doing everything with technology. I am a firm believer in using technolgoy when it offers something different and there is a strong pedagogigcal case for doing so. All too often people use the latest high-tech gizmo just for the sake of using it.

 

However, technology has opened up certain ways of raising cultural awareness that perhaps weren't there before."

Promising Practices in Online Learning - iNACOL

Promising Practices in Online Learning - iNACOL | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From www.inacol.org - December 18, 2011 2:02 AM

The most well established K-12 online learning programs are more than ten years old, and many programs have between five and ten years of operating experience. The newest programs are building on the expertise of those early adopters, as well as the experience of online learning in postsecondary institutions and the corporate world. A body of knowledge, skills and practices has been developed by individual programs, in collaboration with practitioners, researchers, and policymakers. Because there are so many types of online programs (full-time, supplemental, stateled, district-level, consortium), there are also many different approaches to teaching, student support, professional development, and other issues.
