    由於網路發展迅速,在美國許多大學都改變教學模式,90%老師運用社會化媒體在課堂上進行教學,80%在課堂上運用線上影片作報告,30%的學生運用線上課程進行學習,老師指派學生在線上進行作業繳交及做評論;已經是不可取代的教學與學習的模式,對於身為網路世代的學生,老師們必須更要思考該如何將所必須傳授與學生的知識體,運用最佳的社群媒體建構起學習環境,每週給予線上概念學習,並且透過分享與評論讓學生有機會反思及內化,當然至今仍有許多需要突破與推廣的顧慮,當然想想再世界各地共通語言似乎是英文,我想這整個學習模式應該要在國小開始學習英文的環境建構課程架構,讓台灣的英文學習改變現今傳統背單字的模式,讓孩子不怕學英文,有可縮短城鄉差距。

    傳統教學都是仰賴教科書,也方便了老師在傳遞知識,但教科書也變成了學習知識的大框架,有些很有趣的知識內容也容易變成無趣,形成只是個考式,現在學校在教學中已採用蠻多所謂的電子書,增加很多影像動畫,但我還是覺得絕大數學生還是處於學習較單向狀況,大多仍是眼睛看耳朵聽,也或許是設備不足,學生沒辦法去立即有電腦設備和老師做直接的互動,像阮老師有教我們很多的工具,其實運用在教學上是對學生有很大的幫助,但現階段台灣在中小學中仍無法有這樣能在課堂中與老師同學能運用科技融入課程中的教學互動,這是教學中還需要努力的地方,最後我們要創造是主動學習的孩子不是只有主動給的老師。
