| Is this the future for the Lecture Room? |
I was preparing a session on blogs and thought I would ask the question "can technology make us better teachers?". This simple question set off a cascade of thoughts in my head about good teaching, teaching strategies and the place of the "good old lecture" that remains ever popular at some institutions regardless of the outcomes of the course, the context or the content. Coincidentally, as I began searching for materials for my workshop on blogs I came across the following article which addressed the issue of the role of the lecture. I truly believe that the lecture has a place but must be carefully, strategically placed to be of value. Should we kill the lecture? I would say a resounding no but it shouldn't be our one and only tool in our tool kit of teaching strategies. What do you think?
