in Are you a Teacher of Knowledge or a Facilitator of Learning? on The (late) Breakfast Society
Hi Mike,
I love what you said here: "Their role was not to ‘educate’, but to facilitate a process through which participants would share knowledge and ideas (and therefore learn)." So true.
It's funny, this whole philosophical discussion (going on over at Fireside as well) makes me realize how much core teaching philosophies come into play. Are you as teacher "dispenser of knowledge bits" or one who enables the hunting and sharing of knowledge by others? I agree with the questions you're raising.
It's time we look square onto what's essential in this switchover into 21st century learning skills.
And enjoy the fresh air.
Connie
