a) key issues for classroom management methods include:
i. Changing the methods to suit a more connectivist and constructivist approach – in order to discipline the teacher must recognize the environment they are in and how this will affect behaviour, from this point the teacher must then take appropriate action. For example the teacher needs to take into consideration that in this environment more talking and social interaction will occur, they will also need to acknowledge that some students will get distracted through the world of web 2.0

ii. the teacher must acknowledge that leeway and freedom to explore is crucial when working in web 2.0 and ICT environments
iii. the teacher must integrate numerous classroom management styles that are based around a democratic discipline model to ensure the students have freedom however the teacher still has a firm approach to ensure the work is completed
iv. If the teacher follows the ideas from the diagram above through this various access an independent learner is sure to occur, taking responsibility for their own working and thinking and ensuring that they do this through a social network and a collaborative environment – this will also help to ensure Bloom’s hierarchy
the new way to learn and teach: Connectivism
