Modern Teaching Methods

Scientific Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Didactics - Common Didactics, Educational Objectives, Methods, grade: 1,3, University of Hamburg, language: English, abstract: Modern technology provides new opportunities for both teachers and their students to use English, or any other language, in an interactive way. Certainly, there are some excellent new developments - but there are also some ideas that are rather inappropriate for use in class. The ability to critically assess and revise both material and online features is therefore crucial to all teachers. This paper is an attempt to evaluate some of those recent trends that were used in the creation of the classroom-kit for Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother".
