There are some advantages generally. I like the judicious use of digital technology in education (and much of what i teach requires it). They can still do group think over the stream, or via other simultaneous social media i've found, but there is some advantage in having each student in their own space - balanced out partly by the slackers taking advantage (hard to police them saying their wifi's down, laptop died etc). I had to teach a group of 16 earlier and that was hard to keep track of. Action replays for students could be useful, but i don't particularly want my bosses to have regular acccess to the action replays as well though - bit too much like cameras in the classroom. The 'all this online stuff is new to me' don't cut it - that just gets you endless 'training' in things that are idiot proof. When i've heard them making noises about digital revolutions in education over the years it was always stinking of neoliberalism rather than any particular care for students (as is the case for most of the management level bullshit you have to sit through in meetings in FE) (I'm not a particularly good teacher but i think i make up in subject knowledge/enthusiasm) |
