The hectic week of 7 has been almost
finished. Currently, I am in charge of organizing and managing International
Conference on Educational Media hosted by Educational Broadcasting System, the
Korea’s leading educational company. We invite many speakers including teachers
and educational experts from many different countries to share the examples of
future schools, and how to best use of “Smart Media” in this era of multimedia.
Several educational broadcasting companies including BBC, NHK and YouTube are also
going to participate in the conference.
In line with this webskills course, the conference
I am currently focusing on has been a great inspiration to make me organize my
thoughts and narrow them down to the two main questions; the first one is how
to realize “Smart Education” in our “real classroom”. And the second one is how
can we encourage greater autonomy in students using smart media.
I am going to mainly address those two
questions in my final report. How I come up with the right answers with those
two questions will also help me deal with the problems I mentioned in my
previous posts. For example, how can we narrow the widening educational gap
between the poor and the rich and how we deal with students who are immersed
and proficient in smart media, etc.
In the meantime, I also would like to raise
these questions; are teachers adequately prepared for this new teaching and
classroom environment? What additional skills do teachers need?
By combining and integrating those
questions above, hopefully I will be able to come up with right solutions for
the smart education and media for our children’s future.
Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteYour two main questions that is really important for our teacher to think about in our class with technology.Somehow the SMART Peter F. Drucker mentioned come to my mind.Maybe the Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-based class would be how we can direct as one of the method to help our real class.
Thanks for your sharing.

First of all, good luck with your upcoming event. Well I guess teachers now a day need constant workshops, or these types of courses. I say this not just because we need the update but because becoming students ourselves, we can empathize more with our students. And by doing so we are more willing to learn something new in order to put it into practice with our students.
