teaching as wayfinding

Describes the practice of teaching as a method of guiding students through learning.

This approach suggests that just as the 21st-century learning landscape has evolved so must the role of the teacher. In a global networked and complex world the teacher’s role is that of a guide who helps students navigate their way towards success. The teacher is no longer in control of content but instead designs a learning experience in which students can make sense of the vast amounts of information available.
