Thus, students readily experiment with words, sentences and paragraphs to create new texts and place them on their websites for their classmates and the world to view. The feedback they get from each other and from others outside the classroom reinforces the concept of writing as a communication tool they can use in the real world. The learning classroom engages learners as full partners in the learning process, with learners assuming primary responsibility for their own choices. The democratizing of the classroom is one step towards creating a learner-centered environment. The integration of technology in the classroom creates changes in learners and teachers.
Teachers become learners, and students learn to teach.
The teacher's willingness to become a learner is essential. Technological changes in our society have been swift, and many teachers find themselves unprepared to use the new technology, let alone integrate it into their courses. This may be unsettling, unless the teacher can adopt the role of learner. The teacher is no longer the primary source of information, but a valuable resource and facilitator in the classroom. This major shift in roles from the traditional student-teacher relationship creates a substantive change in students, also.
