convergence in teaching creativey

On the panel discussion on this Thursday, the professors talked about applying the new technology to the teaching creativity. Nowadays, the development of new technologies not only makes the communication way between people changed, but also inspires the teacher to seek the new way to improve the teaching method.
Since the participatory culture drew a lot of attention from people, the teachers should also pay more attention to it and realize the importance of the participation of the students. Therefore, the teachers should encourage students to interact and participate actively in class as well as encourage their creativity and production. We all should realize that nowadays, the relationship between teachers and students is no longer sender-receiver anymore, but a more active, creative interaction.
Besides, the professors also talked about the use of blog in class. In my idea, asking students to manage a blog is a novel way for the journalism students. When I was a journalism student in China, the teacher asked us to write the news that we interested in and hand in with paper version. But now, if the students can post the news on the blog as an assignment, they can not only promote the writing ability, but also share the news to more people and experience the media convergence process.
Therefore, the convergence process is happening in nearly all aspects in our lives. The high technology should not only provides us the convenience of consuming the information, but also encourage us to think about what we can improve deeply.
