WOAH!  This was my first response after reading each article.  I learned many new things while also confirming ideas and thoughts about how students learn today.  The first article, Minds on Fire, grabbed my attention with the statement, “Nor is it likely that the current methods of teaching and learning will suffice to prepare students for the lives they will lead in the twenty-first century.”  I pride myself on being a teacher that helps students prepare for life after high school.  I teach life skills in my curriculum, such as child development, communication, intrapersonal & interpersonal relationships, conflict resolution, dating/marriage, nutrition & food preparation to name a few.  Well, after reading these articles I need to update my approach!  Sure, I offer opportunities to use the Web, work in groups to promote collaboration and sharing of ideas which both articles confirmed is much needed to support the learning process.  I learned it is much more than that.

Students today definitely learn differently, this is not new.  It is amazing to think that some of these kids will have jobs that aren’t even created yet.  Cool! With that being said, if they are not created yet, how do we prepare them?  In the second article, Learning, Working & Playing in the Digital Age, the author answers that question.  As educators, we have to teach more transferable skills in learning how to learn.  The author speaks about discovery based or experiential based learning as well as social learning as some ways the digital student learns.  So basically, using the web to discover information, determine what information is trustworthy and then how to take that information and apply or use it.  Right? Ok, how can we do that?

Educators today need to take a step back as the “expert” and act more as facilitators or guides to help student navigate their own learning process.   Provide students with more opportunities to apply important theories/information they are learning to real world problems. This model aligns with my personal philosophy of learning.  Designing learning environments to encompass this model of learning however could be difficult, especially in some areas of education. The fact that we are already using different ways to learn from each other everyday is a positive start. The mind shift from no one is an expert to everyone can be an expert is one that we need to embrace.  I know these articles made me step back as an educator and think how can I incorporate less of me and more of them.
