Education Needs Change

Educational Change Challenge 

As a student for 18 years, I seldom thought that sitting in a class room and listening to the teachers over 8 hours a day is not something we must do to be educated. Since everybody is doing the samething as above.

However, by watching this video, I realize that we do have another option along with the time changes.As an instructor, teachers should have the perspective of how do the students want to be educated instead of considering the pedagogy all the time, and try to find out a best way for students to gain knowledge in an effective way. The most significant consideration is the knowledge students need is changing all the time, therefore,education is challenged at the same time.

Teacher is not a leader, but a helper and friend of students to help them figuring out how to use the knowledge they learn at school.

We live at an exciting time because the way learning happens is changing. Although this requires new pedagogy, the possibility of connecting with other teachers and learning from each other will make this transition smoother.
