Some thoughts on what we know about content that haschanged. #TK10PRE #TK10

Almost everything we knew about content, as learning professionals, has changed. Teacher (up front, knows stuff), Learners (in audience, don’t know anything) Teacher decides where we are going because they are up there and students are in the back (audience) Teacher picks the text and it IS THE RIGHT TEXT.

Almost everything we knew about content, as learning professionals, has changed.

    • Teacher (up front, knows stuff), Learners (in audience, don’t know anything)
    • Teacher decides where we are going because they are up there and students are in the back (audience)
    • Teacher picks the text and it IS THE RIGHT TEXT.
    • Whatever we teach must be memorable – unless I can measure what you learned that I thought was important you have failed.
    • If you do your homework, you will get an A in the class, whether you learned or not. There will be A’s and F’s, winners and losers at learning.
    • Shell Answer Man model – knows everything about what they are teaching vs Gee maybe we can let the people participate in deciding what is important to learn
    • You can’t possibly facilitate learning about something if you don’t know anything about it. (Untrue)
    • Questions should always be asked at the end.
    • Also everything your learners know is wrong:  I am going to teach you, everything I teach you in the session is in this checklist, we will do it during the class, if you check it all off you have succeeded.

A Few New Thoughts

    • Model of I Don’t Have All of the Answers
    • You need to engage people somehow in the participation of creation of learning.
  • It is twice as important to engage with people when teaching virtually.
    • There should be no dead time during online synchronous teaching, think about adding music when there is a break.

During this discussion, all participants were responsing to a quesitons about things we use to believe about teaching/learning that might not be true now.
