Digital Ways- Coaching strategies for transformative new learning technologies

“ Human ‘learning’ is always local. It manifests as a change within an individual mind/body or a change in the collective processes. Sometimes learning is a result of intentional teaching. Most of the time humans learn from observing other people and from spontaneously interacting with their environments. (Lisa Loop, educational technology pioneer, futurist, technical author, and consultant)

New Skills Needed. Teachers need a whole new repertory of behaviors to help their students absorb academic material. Students also need new study and social skills to adapt to this task. Learners who understand their own interests and preferences, know how to use their digital tools and are willing to take charge of putting themselves in a personally optimal learning environment are poised to thrive both in the current crisis and during more normal times.
