Teacher role:
Teacher has many different roles and functions. According to Holm Sørensen the teacher is:
It is difficult to balance the role of teacher. The role must be change depends of the knowledge, who is expert and it should be relevant. Find the balance!
"Knowledge sharing and the role of the students: Teacher slide
New didactic design challenge: The teacher can make a student a knowledge mediator - expert in a specific tool or topic (option)
Students are interested in sharing their knowledge (about IT) - it triggers recognition and prestige in both peers and teachers (option)
Knowledge sharing in several stages can "distort" or "weaken" knowledge (barrier)
Requires something to communicate - not just take over eg the computer or project (barrier)
The recipient does not have sufficient basis for constructing new knowledge (barrier)"
By using the technology in teaching and learning it gives extra help. Students have possibility to use different teaching material, they can be presented to students different ways, for example tekst, video, quiz, tests and ect. By using different technologies the students get better understanding of IT, and the material. Nowadays everything is becoming digital. That is why we must prepare our students for future jobs. For example, it is not enough for farm machinery students to know how to drive a tractor. They must know how to use Ipad, GPS ect. For example precision agriculture is based on many softwares, and the students must have understanding of how to use them.
By making different task based on digita technology, the students are getting used to it.
The teacher's role as a knowledge leader:
Build a culture of knowledge sharing, motivate students to share knowledge with each other
Have an overview, be open to what is happening and dare to let go
Reflect on whether it is a fruitful process for students
But ... delegating tasks to students does not relieve the teacher of responsibility!
The teacher must be present academically - and ensure that the students work in an appropriate manner (K3)
The pupils' IT competences cannot compensate for their potential. lack of professional skills
Ask studends relevent questions not only how is it going!!!
