What is the Role of the Teacher in a World With Digitally Enhanced Learning?

Session 1

Matthew Baird — SLA, TFI Cairo Project

Room 1072

At EduCon we are bombarded with great ideas of how to integrate technology in our classrooms. This conversation invites participants to sit back for a moment to consider how the intersection of technology and learning interacts with the fundamental pedagogical relationship between teacher and student. One of the contexts for this conversation is Marin Buber’s “I and Thou” from which we will explore how technology might interfere and potentially potentiate the creation of the type of dynamic learning environment that creates real connection between people.

Conversational Practice

This is a discussion generated from an initial exercise and examining quotes in small groups. Following that exercise, the group as a whole will discuss the central topic of the role of a teacher in a digitally enhanced classroom.
