NZ e-Learning pedagogy: What does a New Zealand teacher in 2014 and beyond look like?

This is something that needs to be the top priority of all schools. We need to understand what it means to educate in 2014 and how that looks. We need to ask the question "Who are our students in 2014?". It astounds me that these questions are not being openly raised and discussed at all levels. If they are being discussed can somebody please direct me to where these conversations are, I would be fascinated to follow them.

Gaming

I've been a believer of gaming in education for quite some time now. I have used it in my own teaching and I have been surprised at the number of parents/adults who are engaged in gaming yet freak out when it is used in education. Daphne Bavelier is brain specialist who has had great and insightful ideas about gaming.
