ABSTRACT

Professionalism meant that knowledge should be shared and passed on and exchanged with others publically. It also meant that there was constant improvement in the interests of student learning. This chapter emphasizes that we need to "reconnect teaching to the disciplines" as a way of making teaching valued; second, "we must capture the artifacts to demonstrate its richness and complexity", and lastly, "if we deem it valuable, it must be open to judgement by others". Using Pointer Mace's description of what should be in a multimedia case, two multimedia sites were described — one by a secondary teacher, Yvonne Hutchinson, and the other by an elementary teacher, Sarah Capitelli both teachers from Carnegie group. Both the values as well as how knowledge is displayed and organized has changed in developed countries. Recreation, movies, sports, news in homes, as well as the use of technology in hospitals, agriculture and a variety of companies, is ubiquitous.
