Democracy & Education - A Presentation at the NJETI Conference

Democracy and Education - Revisiting the topic nearly 100 years later- What would John Dewey say about districts prohibiting the use of Web 2.0 in Schools?
The focus was on districts needing to move away from the restrictive policies that seem to prevail in many school districts today. Dewey stated, "As formal teaching and training grow in extent, there is the danger of creating an undesirable split between the experience gained in more direct associations and what is acquired in school. This danger was never greater than at the present time, on account of the rapid growth in the last few centuries of knowledge and technical modes of skill." With an opportunity for an educational shift in the direction our educational policies. We face a critical phase where we can move away from teaching to the test and move towards a more social constructivist approach with the use of Web 2.0 tools.  To see this presentation click here.
