Do not be afraid to facilitate and expand new ways to teach . Ask students to participate in the learning process.
sage on a stage felt very comfortable due to being the authority, which can misguide students if the information provided is incorrect. A more interactive process allows both to grow and learn
Truthfully, I am old and don't still trust the "new way". The sage on the stage has worked for centuries, and yet now it is ineffective. I am open to new ideas, and I want to make it better for students. Waiting for that part of the content.
Having spent years in formal education as a learner, it is easy to just copy what has been done to me to do to others. I believe that to be an even more effective instructor that the "sage on the stage" concept is self-sabotaging by taking away the ability for learners to actively learn or participate in their learning.
