Food for thought on the active learning

•       How important is it for students to create digital content? Nowadays, we've come to terms with the fact that students learn better - and that's the main reason - when producing the content themselves. Especially when using digital tools such as iPads, their phones and laptops. Teachers' role has been presented for guidance. 
•       What are some of the benefits of having students create digital content? The benefits involve them building their own knowledge and having us teachers participate with them and not only left as observers. We build together and have the chance to share and exchange ideas, possibilities as well.
•       What are some of the drawbacks on having students as content creators? They can sometimes provide content that's not appropriate or has not to do with the class purpose. That's why teachers' role is important in terms of guidance and reflection.
•       How feasible is it to integrate content creation into your classroom? Students don't hesitate, nor struggle with the usage of digital tools. They also got how much fun it is to play with them and how interesting the task is when it's collaborative. I don't think the groups would have trouble engaging especially because they're so familiarized with digital tools, nowadays.

How do we turn our 21st classrooms into learning engines?

  Through sharing (among us teachers and among our students) like it's been suggested and it's been the main goal of Digital Skills and Tools for Educators course.
  Lílian Marchesoni, in one of her comments to my first post said that PNL is key to finding the right resources and through them, facilitating also the variety of teaching processes. PNL made me connect the idea with positive/grownth mindset, which I think is sort of a consequence from the first mentioned, or they're somewhat connected.
