Vicki Davis is an innovative teacher who integrates the use of digital tools in her teaching practices. This new way of teaching arise students’ interests and motivations. She uses many kinds of technology to open students mind to connect with the rest of the world. In her classes, she introduces new software materials such as blogs, wikis … In her video; she mentions that students “learn how to learn.” In this manner, students are responsible of their learning process. They experience several new materials that lead them to develop their autonomy. The teacher doesn’t need and doesn’t want to define everything; she wants them to try and learn by themselves. Additionally, it enables the students and the teacher to have a good relationship between each other, since they can share ideas with the use of wikis. Students can also post their works or projects on their blog.
I think that Davis uses this approach in a brilliant way as she takes into consideration her students’ interests and try to look for the richest experiences for them. I also think that she manages her class in an excellent manner because of the fact that she seems to give interesting classes. Also, she introduces the material intended in an effective method and with a lot of energy. Moreover, the teacher doesn’t need to be in front of the class during all the period. Finally, I think that using technology to connect with the rest of the world is interesting and meaningful for the students learning process.
