Static Verses Dynamic

Learning is an ongoing process and it is enhanced by the rapidly advancing technology. Learners must keep abreast of these technologies and make a change when needed. By doing this they will continue to grow and increase their knowledge. The tools that are being used in these classrooms have either a static or dynamic approach. Both of these approaches have the power to improve the teaching and learning environments through careful selection of which tools are being used and how they are being used. Also, I agree with Moller (2008) that is is highly important foruse to take a risks, experiment, and never stop questioning when we do not know or understand.

I would have to say that I stay in the middle of the continum, because I find myself see-sawing back and forth fromthe static to the dynamic. I know that there are others as well that like using tools of the dynamic approach, but still need tools from the static approach. Tools from both of these approaches are still widely needed and used today.
