Creative teaching and learning

An example of absolutely transformative learning, this is an inspiring approach to how digital technology can (and is) revolutionizing education! Wonderful examples of how progressive thinking, professional development and ICT can all integrate and have a real impact to redefine what classrooms look like, and how students learn. What I particularly love about the technology that is demonstrated within this artefact, is how the technology can incorporate all of the 4C's. It promotes students to engage, collaborate, communicate, critically think and problem solve, as well as explore creativity. Not only does it incorporate and promote the use of the 4C's, but the technology encourages independence, and can be individualized. I also love that the software users can remain anonymous to each other, which I think is very valuable to having uninhibited learning, particularly in young, maturing, children. It allows for impromptu learning to occur, as well as hypothesizing, and learning reflection. The technology also allows for the teacher, to track the data from the students, so it can be used for formative as well as summative assessment purposes, as required. This technology has the ability to link students in with education at a global level, blowing the classroom setting wide open, and providing a platform from which the teacher can facilitate the learning. I think this technology is amazingly versatile, and I cannot wait to trial it within a classroom setting. Awesome stuff!!!
