Mod 3 Does teaching only means teacher and students?

Classroom of Tomorrow
A Vision of 21st Century Teachers

We begin our education about 6 years old. For me, what impresses me most about teaching is teacher stands in front of the classroom; talks to students everything on the one hand. On the other hand, the students listen to what teacher teaches and take notes. Books and notebooks are the two most common things we use in our study. Teachers will tell us what to write down and what should we review for the exams. In some classes, computer will be used to show us something. That's all I can remember what we have used in my class.

However,  is it enough for today's teaching and learning. Are teacher and students are the only two main kinds of characters in the class? What should be included to assist our study? From the above two videos, I see that books and notebooks are not so important as past and we can learn through so many different methods. It is the technology, the advanced and convenient ones we can use to learn. As we know from the videos, students tend to study through paperless tools such as cell phones, computer. It is very common for teacher and students communicate through Internet. Blog is a good way for assignments, comments and so on. Through technologies, students can be creative and study will become interesting. It can also save students' a lot of energy and time. Gradually, technology becomes indispensable and every student will be good at using Internet tools. What's more, today's teachers are no longer teachers in the past. They are more like professional people in IT field. Many teaching methods are created to assist teaching.

Nowadays, besides teacher and students, many various kinds of technologies can be seen in a classroom. Communication becomes easier and the distance between teacher and students is smaller than before. Teaching and learning is more and more interesting.
