Chapter three discusses active learning which is when students are physically and cognitively involved in the learning process. Instead of sitting and listening to an instruction, lesson, or lecture, students are jumping right in and comparing ideas. I feel that it is so much more beneficial to get out of the classroom and into a new learning environment. Applying a lesson to an activity outside could resonate with a student more than reading about that very same lesson.

Another concept that stood out to me was online learning. Children have access to iPads and computers and even online books from kindles. The app store has countless educational games for all ages. This aid could relate the student to something they are interested in, which in turn makes learning more fun! Centers could be organized where some groups do paper work and some others use iPads and they all switch around.

  1. Fantastic!! You did a great job in getting your first blog post online!! :) Congratulations!

    The points that resonated with you are good ones - ones that you'll likely build upon over the semester's time. Nice job on your reflective writing - a skill that you will further develop as you get some additional posts on this blog. You also did an awesome job in creating and embedding two digital web 2.0 tools (only one per post is needed!) - excellent!

    The things to work on for the next blog post: 1) You will want to select three concepts (not just two) to write about reflectively for future posts 2) You also need to add your resources (always the textbook, but in this post you also need to give credit to yourself for the creations you made - see my sample blog for an example)

    Overall, a great first post - keep up the good work. :)
