The child and the teacher enter from two different directions. The child is inexperienced and the teacher is a skilled professional. They both bring their own skills and strategies for learning and teaching. The child brings his or her coping and processing abilities. This all takes place within the learning environment of the classroom. What the teacher presents, as well as the peer relationships and interactions, all affect the learning outcomes and social consequences within the classroom. These are factors that create a learning circle. The student and teacher continuously "feed" off each other as they each learn from each other.
This video, Bloom and Gardner Go High Tech, discusses how children are bombarded with technology today. We must incorporate technology into teaching. This new generation has a whole new set of learning and teaching gadgets. Let's use them to our advantage!
