Module 7 Activity 2 a,b,c,d

This activity made me realize that as far as the connected classroom is concerned, we have a long way to go. It has opened my eyes to the 21st Century learner and the need for me as a teacher to get students curious so that they always want to learn. I am fully aware of the fact that students are born consuming media and the role the teacher must play in ensuring that they use this to learn rather than merely for entertainment;I am also cognizant of the need for students to be given a baseline set of skills and competencies so that they may proceed confidently into the learning. Of some significance is the need to give value to informal learning and to let students realize that learning outside of the classroom is just as important as within the four walls of the classroom. There is also a need for us as teachers to use digital media to change the way students learn, play and sociaslize.  As a teacher, I realize that there is a lot to be done in this area and I will start to take steps to ensure that my students become digital masterminds in my subject area.
