learning by instructing
As an instructor, I have noticed that when I am teaching a student they come up with a question that I hadn't thought of, this forces me to seek out the answer, which in turn leads me to learn something as well as the student.
Yes, the challenges keeps us on our toes as instructors. Also, if the student that ask the question was a millenium student or a student of the technology generation then they could have easily researched the answer and shared it with the class to strike up more challenges/interest and class participation. I understand that this generation wants to particiapate in shared learning, even with the teachers. It is no longer like it used to be where the students relied on the Instructors for the answers. Now with technology, the students can research the answers just like the Instructors can research the answers. Reverse the challenge back to these inquiring minds, they have the tools, talent, and techniques to get the answers themselves with our guidance! Oh, I am learning a lot too from our students that are digital and tech savvy.
This was an amazing course! I learned a lot of new ideas that bring fun and entertainment into the classroom. I will incorporate many of these ideas and look forward to students feedback
