They should also be willing to collaborate with others and be able to integrate the diverse viewpoints brought by others with their own. And yes, teachers should not act as the 'dispensers of knowledge' but they should enter a classroom with an inquisitive mind to learn something in the process of teaching.Ashishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476071617208400688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432502992220241452.post-27580236721017297832015-12-02T17:42:14.221-05:002015-12-02T17:42:14.221-05:00Oh, I totally agree with you, Amy.

We need to acknowledge that one needs to have EQ as well as IQ in order to live a meaningful life. We need to look as academic success in terms of how well the graduates are doing in life instead of measuring how much money they are making or what grade they are getting in classes. We need to see if student and graduates have the ability and the will to take actions for the good of all.Ashishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476071617208400688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432502992220241452.post-4313911692960438302015-12-02T16:28:16.129-05:002015-12-02T16:28:16.129-05:00I like how you brought up the expectations for edu...I like how you brought up the expectations for education to keep evolving. I don't think evolving education needs to be put only in the context of changes in technology, but I think it needs to be consider in the changes of the world. Every generation brings something different and we need to be able to understand that learning isn't static. Individuals who become educators are just as much students as their actual students. We have a lot to learn from each other as long as we are open to learning. Thank you!

Teaching in the 21st century is encompassing a multitude of elements and with the rapid advances of technology and various ways to cross collaborate with one another locally as well as globally is changing everything and conversations are going beyond the classroom setting.

I would also suggest that Parker Palmer's ideas deserve integration into this framework as well. His insistence that good pedagogy depends on emotional intelligence, and that we take the "intelligence" in emotional intelligence seriously offers powerful perspective on the importance of affective knowledge to the education and well-being of the "new professional" and, by extension the whole person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597487666759595526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432502992220241452.post-43438630936874888742015-12-02T10:03:46.101-05:002015-12-02T10:03:46.101-05:00TECHNOLOGY.

I believe technology may be an important piece of the puzzle for pushing students to be more innovative, but at the same time, I'm not sure how it would be done properly. However, since technology has only recently be integrated (in the past 6 yrs), I'm fairly certain there may be many more years before certain kinks can be worked out of the method.Ross McCarthyhttps://blogs.lt.vt.edu/rossmccarthy/noreply@blogger.com
