Teaching

As teachers of computing subjects you often think that it is your responsibility to know everything about every program but lets face it that is near impossible.  It is important that we are able to adapt and learn as we go.
School is all about preparing students to go out into the workplace.  So students should learn to work in the environments that are used in the workplace.  This means we should try to use more collaborative assignments for students to work on together as collaboration, people skills, project management skills are all the things that future employers will want their workers to have.  
The board of studies IST syllubus 7-10 states that we as teachers need to engage and challenge our students and to maximise thier individual tallents.  we should also promote fair and just values which we can relate to the IST subject. 


I found this interesting video that gives an interesting view point on how we should change to become better teachers.  By incorporating technology and understanding that the children of today are different to past generations as they have grown up with technology and bombardment of information through the stimulation of technology.
