Challenges in teaching

This blog is meant to be a space for sharing our experience and expectations as teachers. In this first post I would like to discuss about our teaching challenges. It is believed that we tend to teach the way we were taught.If this is so, we need to reconsider the way we teach because our students experience the world in a total different way that we used to do. They have access to instant, limitless information and here lies the challenge: if we are to meet our students`expectations we need to take a step forward creating a learning environment with activities that can motivate them and foster authentic, instant communication. Here is a video that illustrates this reflection. What is your viewpoint?
