Disruptive Learning
I enjoyed the conversation about disruptive learning and innovations. I have been reading the book on my own and it helps to talk about it with other educators to get a clearer picture of what it is suggesting. It has also made me think of some of my students and how I might start with setting them loose with opportunities on line that we cannot offer for a variety of reasons. It is such an untapped resource to expand educational opportunities if implemented correctly. It is also interesting to look at the business model and see how that disrupted some big companies and forced change to satisfy the consumer-that can't completely be a negative direction.

The book changed my thinking also. There's lots of criticisms, too. Some of it is well-crafted and needs to be considered. Like anything, if it challenges your thinking, and it makes good professional sense, move toward it! Great to have you in class!
ReplyDeleteIt really helped our group's conversation to bring in what you had read in the book. I was a little unclear about disruptive innovation and your example from the book about televisions and the tubes being supplanted by other electronic innovations in other fields.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed our in-class discussion and appreciate the depth your reading of this book brought to our group. It is exciting to contemplate applications of this concept beyond my initial anticipation of this article being about technological changes in the classroom. This is about changes to the classroom and beyond!
