Should controversial topics be discussed in class?
Debate in schools is more likely to become a tool for structuring thought, listening, exchanging and sharing rather than a valve during traumatic events. It is a double-edged sword: the debate can create a zone of understanding or crystallize positions. It is therefore important to know the mechanisms and to practice it regularly to avoid the pitfalls, starting with less polemical but more constructive topics.
The teacher's place in the personal learning environment
Closed-environment e-learning was intended to be socio-constructivist, but is being refuted as such by proponents of the open learning environment. If everything is zone of proximal development, where is the added value, in terms of learning, and what is the role of the teacher?
By practical objectives
Designing e-learning modules is precision work: aiming just right, immersing learners in a real experience that enables them to question the way they work. "Change what people do, not just what they know".
Integrating students with hearing impairments
The integration of students with disabilities is still problematic. Many teachers admit that they do not know how to deal with children with hearing difficulties. However, there are various ways to integrate them, even in non-specialized classes.
Deep intuitive questioning
The ambition of questioning without questioning is to learn to detach oneself from questioning and let the learner grasp his or her own inner movement.
