The older generation often feels there is a
gap between them and the
younger generation.
This apparent in
simple things like the
manner of dressing,
socializing,more intimate relationships
like friendship
and marrying.
Even in education, traditional schooling has
hardly changed even with the clear evidence of a
digital world.
Reflect on how some teachers confine their
teaching to the board talk test
method.
UNDERSTANDING THE POTENTIALS OF ICT:
1. The new network of instantaneous communication is
global, overcoming borders between
countries and continents. ???
2. Much of what elders believe
may not be applicable
anymore to the new generation, especially along the matters of
traditional value system.
3. Alvin Toffler’s book, Future Shock, shows how the information age has begun to create many
cultural changes an the family, societies,
businesses, governments such as what he calls the
throw- away society, modular man, kinetic image,
scientific tragectory, fractured family, surfeit of
subcults, psychological dimension, etc.
Given the speed and power of ICT for
change, growth and innovation, it becomes critical that teachers understand the gap
that may be perceived between them and the
new generation of learners. Much of the
old technology such as tube radio, platter
records, cassette tapes, celluloid movies,
antenna television, landline phones, have
vanished or are quickly vanishing today.
Since the generations are expected to face a
future professional challenge of a digital world ahead of them, technolgy supported
skills need to be taught in schools today, or else schools will become a
white elephant.
If schools fail to respond to emergent changes and
needs, new learners may lose appreciation of the educational system, and drop out rate every year.
Learning at home and availing digital learning systems like the Open
Universities may save the day, but the situation
remains bleak for schools stolidly adhering to the old
educational system.
THE END...
GODBLESS!!!
