1. How has the physical space of teaching changed in the last 15 years, since the rise of the internet? How do students and teachers occupy this space? Are we more mobile while learning or more stationary than we once were? Are we more or less likely to use our bodies while learning?
2. What different instruments do students 1.0 and students 2.0 use? How do these instruments change the way we interact with the subjects we study? For example, do we write differently (in a qualitative way) with a pencil than we do with a keyboard?
3. How about teachers 2.0? What different instruments are we beginning to use in the classroom? Do students interact differently with information on a blackboard than information on a computer screen or Powerpoint? Is teaching as much (or more) of a learning experience for us than it once was? Do new technologies enhance our engagement (as teachers) with our subject material?
4. How do new technologically enhanced or virtual classrooms address themselves to students with unconventional learning styles? Are we able to reach more students than we once were? Can online learning be made effective for any kind of student?
5. How do non-traditional students fit into the classroom 2.0? As our teaching methods evolve, how do we continue to address our pedagogy to student 1.0?
6. Finally, how have the relationships we create with our students changed? And how have the social dynamics between students in the classroom changed? Is classroom 2.0 more communal or less communal than classroom 1.0?
Interesting questions. Did you get answers as well?
