Challenging the pupil- From pupil to student - • The pupil becomes a student • Formulating his/her own goals for the learning process • Controlling the personal learning process • Finding relevant information • Organizing and formulating knowledge on their own • Production of knowledge rather than just re-production
Challenging the teacher • The teacher primarily functions as a consultant • f2f • Decreasing control – in traditional terms - of the learning process • Setting the students ‘free’ • New forms of evaluation with focus on both process and product
But why ICT? • ICT removes problems concerning space and time • the students can communicate any where, any time • the students can contact the teacher any where, any time • the students can collect and exchange information any where, any time • ICT gives access to knowledge • in principle the students can draw on a global pool of knowledge • ICT makes saving – and sharing – knowledge easier • the students can, individually and/or together create records of notes and presentations (portfolio) and thus register their progress and use it for exams
Empowerment ‘Learning for Life’ • Awareness of learning strategies • Acting responsibly in a democracy • Navigation in an increasingly globalized world • Communication of knowledge across geographical and cultural borders Marie-Louise Ebert Lauritsen ml@langkaer.dk
