E-learning: Teachers challenged by the Net Generation — downloadable book
This book is dedicated to teachers who want to equip themselves with the pedagogy of tomorrow, who know that the careers of young people born into the digital age can only be successful if they are equipped with new media literacy skills.
The book presents the experience of the TeNeGEN project, funded by the European Union and awarded "Best Practice" by the European Commission in 2010.
The idea behind the project was that instead of trying to teach e-learning methodology to teachers using traditional teaching methods, we should involve them in networked knowledge sharing so that they can experience for themselves what it is that keeps today's young people 'plugged in' without a break.
The partners involved in the TeNeGEN project set out to translate the latest learning and teaching theories of the information society into pedagogical practice, in the firm belief that instead of trying to teach e-learning methodology through traditional teaching methods, we need to involve teachers in network knowledge sharing in order to "reach" and teach the net generation.
