The Power of Guiding & discussions

It is universal to use the mobile technology nowadays, but if we study via mobile technologies without doing what you need to do, then we will learn nothing at all. In other words, we will acquire little knowledge if we study on the mobile technology without any study guide or the outline [Evaluationof Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning (Conclusion Page 48)]. So as for an educator, this information may remind us that we need to focus on guiding students how to use the mobile technology to learn by themselves.




Another opinion is that we need more discussions and more debates within others (WhyOrganizations Need to Make Learning Hard).This passage told us that when we learn something new and it is a challenge for us, we always think it is easy to figure that out by comparing new one to the old knowledge. As a result, we may not know well about the new knowledge. The reason why we fail to master the new knowledge is that we just thought we could, but actually we cannot. So a better way to solve this problem is holding a meeting or a discussion. Let everyone explain their own opinion about the new knowledge. Then they will learn a lot. So for education, this idea is provoking. Even though we have mobile technology to study by ourselves, we also need to share our opinions with others in order to get a better understanding of what we learned. As a teacher, they may need to add the group discussions or debates in class or out of school on Internet. Combing online study with peer debates could enhance our learning efficiency.


Guiding and discussions online can help students study well.
