In Dr. Alec Couros’ short post Tips Up or Tips Down?, Couros
recounts a missed learning opportunity with his son.
The post is a powerful reminder that we as teachers
and parents need to foster and deepen our students’ curiosity. Technology
can provide simple answers in an instant. However, often more important
than the answer is how we use our minds to find, discover, search, and
create. Technology is great, but when it replaces thinking it can become
more of a hindrance than a help in the process of learning.
Again, Tips Up or Tips Down? is short, but it is well worth the
quick read.
Hi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to my post. However, I just wanted to point out that the link in your post goes to my 'about' page rather than the post itself. The proper links should be http://educationaltechnology.ca/couros/2287 ... Thanks, and all the best!
Whoops! Thank you for pointing that out. It's fixed now.
