Pretty cool travelling at 330 kilometres an hour on China’s fast train from Shanghai to Weifang. Blogging again as I have an Abstract to submit by December 1st to a T & L Conference about technology use in the classroom that might be worth sharing with colleagues, let’s see.
What am I submitting? Well…I am still working on robot-proofing my marketing students. This goal is becoming urgent now since we started our digital marketing paper this second semester. Can we help the students acquire better digital skills by being more skilled ourselves? The work world has changed again too. I see there are more opportunities that are saturated with digital skills and content knowledge. Are we there yet with teaching in this space? I do not think so.
Therefore, I want to share a blended learning initiative using Google’s Digital Garage modules as part of our course work. Our students reflected on their experience with Google Digital Garage and, the most surprising thing to me is that they enjoyed the self-paced learning…and want more. What? How did that happen?
Let’s see if I can explain what happened that made the self-paced learning experience a success.
