In chapter three of our book, it talks about having to unlearn things in the classroom. The world is fast changing and teachers need to keep up with it by unlearning things that may have been useful in the past. This can be somewhat difficult for teachers because they don't want to change or leave their past knowledge behind. To meet the needs of new students in the classroom today, teachers need to rethink how they do their jobs and recreate the way they teach so that the students in classroom learn as much as possible. In the classroom, teachers need to unlearn things and reconstruct their new knowledge of new things to fit the needs of the students in their classroom.
Teachers need to learn new things in order to keep their classrooms up to date with current information and technology. If the teacher properly knows how to use new things, like technology, it is only going to benefit the students in the classroom. With things changing so quickly, teachers need to adapt quicker then ever to the new knowledge and information or there classroom is going to be way behind. According to our book, The Connected Educator, teachers should construct three types of knowledge in their classroom: passive (knowledge for), active (knowledge in), and reflective (knowledge of) to provide newest up to date information to their classroom.
Nice post! I like how you defined the three types of classroom knowledge. Its very important that us as future educators must learn to unlearn and relearn!
ReplyDeleteI agree with needing to keep classrooms up to date. Especially with how quickly technology is advancing and evolving today.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree and understand what you stated in the first paragraph. Overall the post is well written and organized!
ReplyDeleteI agree that teachers need to unlearn the way that they used to teach and learn the new ways! I liked that you put it is hard for some teachers to let go of their old ways because I think that is so true!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with this quote: "The world is fast changing and teachers need to keep up with it by unlearning things that may have been useful in the past. This can be somewhat difficult for teachers because they don't want to change or leave their past knowledge behind."
ReplyDeleteVery well done. You were too the point and explained nicely what unlearning is. I agree that teachers need to stay up to date with technology and technology in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteWell said, and very to the point. The only criticism I have is that you may have wanted to give examples or try to explain the knowledge for, knowledge of, and knowledge in.
ReplyDeleteI also think it could be very difficult to unlearn an idea or way of doing something that has been so familiar for so long, especially as a teacher.
ReplyDeleteI agree that teachers need to be up to date with technology. I would add more examples for knowledge for, knowledge of, and knowledge in.
