Nowadays the advance of the technology is going rapid. From one generation, there is a lot of change. If teachers cannot keep up, they become out-of-date. besides, the role of the teachers to be an expert and a leader in their subject areas. Otherwise he/she will be learning simultaneously with the students.
Just a small phrase of
Wikis "the free encyclopedia "is the announcement of the revolution of the learning world. During the last 5 years, educational institutions in Thailand including my school "
Assumption College" had to spend a lot of money to buy
encyclopedias in order that the students could search for knowledge. However, the
limited budget meant the school could not provide enough encyclopedias for all the students. It did not include underprivileged schools which looked forward to receiving the encyclopedias as donation from charity organizations.
However, the schools where finance is available are able to support the best and most up -to-date set of encyclopedias for the students. Unfortunately, the contents from these encyclopedias were outdated because it took at least five year publishjng. This means that the information and knowledge does not come from events of the previous 5 years. The question is "How can the students learn new events?"
Wikis,
the free encyclopedia is not only the knowledge assigned by the teachers to search for knowledge but also the students can take part in improving, developing or writing new titles. The students may not able to search for knowledge about the
Big Bang, but who will know that
"the earthworms that are dug by the students from the backyard and may be a new specie who can create great benefits for mankind in the future years. This is the role of the teachers nowadays!!

Hi Pei Dao !
ReplyDeleteIt's great. I think, nowadays teacher has many ways to search knowledge for teaching and advice the students in the right way like your topic.
it's more meaningful video . I learned "The change of thinking" from your topic ,thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like your example clip very much!
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher, this reminds me somethings I should focus more.
Wikis is one of my favourite place to start looking for informations I want. However, it's better to recheck those informaions again. .... But it's good to have Wikis as a starting point.
What a great video! It helped that the subtitles were in English. =) Sadly, this happens all around the world- if students are doing something different than what expected, they are not always appreciated for it.
ReplyDeleteI think that video symbolizes the complenceny of some educators to only pay attention to the usual agenda that they are used to following. The idea of thinking out of the box or to recognize new innovations is usually lacking. This then relates to the ides of how outdated and complacent encyclopedias really are, especially as wikis are becoming the new innovation.
ReplyDeleteI just watched this video. it is absolutely amazing and compelling. Thank you for posting it!
ReplyDeleteDear Ratana

Dear Paponpat
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when I watch this video. We should not close the children's imagination.
Dear Bro. Thinnakorn
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the weak point of wiki but we can recheck the reliability of information from another sources.
