1B_4Activity 8b:Why wait for ICT?

I think that we should not wait for ICT before we examine our teaching methods. Children learn differently or have multiple intelligences as Howard Gardener indicated and we should all aspire to adjust our techniques as well as our pedagogical skills in order to cater to their individual differences. Times are changing and therefore advancements in technology as well as the environments, in which children live, enable them to learn new information and consequently, teachers need to devise new strategies of teaching and motivating students intrinsically. The behavourists methods of teaching will not help students to construct meaningful knowledge for themselves. Teachers also need to become smart workers and collaborate with colleagues so that they can all learn from each other and acquire professional development.
