virtual, students’ future?
Posted on October 15th, 2009 at 9:32 am by sheey and



TPACK is a concept of bringing new technology that students are famililar with into teaching and combine it with pedagogy and content.

If you can bring technologies into teaching in a positive way as a teacher, then the students will be more engaged, more motivated and therefore perform better at school. Is this true for every single student? I have my doubts.

If a teacher can bring technologies into the classroom to help the students to understand the content or to make the content easier for students to understand, students will be motivated to learn. However what happens outside of the school when there is no teacher to help students, no any other person to make the content easier for them, what can the students who are so used to having everything simplified for them?

Another concern of mine is that if teachers all use mobiles / internet to teach the students and what happens when everything become virtual? Is a virtual classroom what we really want for our kids? If schools are becoming virtual, what happens to our future generations? Is virtual life what we really want for them?
