How experienced teachers learn in the information age

Abstract

In the world of the Information Age, digital natives (students) are being taught by digital immigrants (experienced teachers). These digital immigrants prefer to employ a number of abilities or multiple intelligences (Gardner 1983) to learn about software that can be beneficial to their students. As experienced teachers with limited ICT exposure, they are interested in: learning how to push buttons (P), thinking how to apply software to their practice (A) and are willing to change their practice using ICT (C). This paper discusses a study of experienced teachers with limited ICT exposure and their preferred way of learning, as they PAC for the information age.
