The greatest challenge of the Information Age is the rapid pace of change brought about by digital technology. Success in the Information Age will be defined by the ability to learn how to learn. This model is democratic, as students and teachers share responsibility for both teaching and learning. Though intellectually I have bought into this shifting paradigm, student-centered teaching is not what I'm accustomed to, is not what I prospered under and is not what I am good at. It is the major teaching dilemma which I and many of my fellow teachers currently face.
Revolutions are uncomfortable and often bloody.
This learning revolution is no different. I can wait for the vanguard to pass and be a follower. I think most people who go into teaching are not risk-takers. We had positive experiences with school. We like controlled situations and are not comfortable making mistakes.
