INE NETWORKING
By 2025, collaborative technology has
failed in many aspects. Teachers have
spent the last five years substantial
amounts of time learning new networking
applications, but it was not always clear if
and how these technologies improved
their teaching. An alternative group of
teachers has emerged that almost
exclusively teach offline. This new
education scheme offers rotating teachers
working for different schools within the
area. They get to rotate schools within the
city and now dedicate more time
discussing things with other teachers faceto-face.
Once a month, various teachers'
collaboration networking events are
organised. In these events, teachers get an
opportunity to do collaborative projects
with other teachers. S
tudents are also
involved when these events take place
locally. Interacting and collaborating with
students from other schools has increased
student motivation for learning new
things.
16. 5. Technology meltdown: Off-line peer learning
Pro’s
− The face-to-face time is valued
− Collaboration is still embedded in teaching, however in different
ways
Con’s
− Rotating teaching profession can have drawbacks
