KIDS HAVE UNTAPPED POTENTIALSIN CHALLENGE BASED LEARNING


GIVE KIDS ACCESSAND THEY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

GIVE STUDENT ACCESS, AND THEY WILL LEARN AROUND IT


Let’s talk about access


Shall we still ask them to ask rhetorical questions?

What should we do instead of asking them to solve problems we already know the answers ?

So what can our students do in our classrooms?



Don’t ask them not to bring their mobile devices in the classroom



Because if you have access, you can change the world


KIDS LOVE EMBRACING CHANGE

GAMERS : “IF I AM NOT LEARNING, IT AIN’T FUN”

KIDS ARE NOT BORN DIGITAL NATIVES, ARE BORN DIGITAL CONSUMERS

IMPORTANCE OF HOME ENVIRONMENT AS MUCH AS THE SCHOOL ONE

FORMAL AND INFORMAL LEARNING TO BE LINKED TOGETHER
