I am writing down some of the random thoughts swirling around in my head. I hope to get back to them and take a closer look.<\/p>\n
Thought 1:
\nWe keep seeking change in education and complain that it stays the same, but I do not think learning changes. Learning still takes place within the learner, the learner must interact with content to build meaning and understanding for themselves. Schools were designed to provide the greatest number of people an opportunity to interact with content in the most efficient and economical manner. What has changed is how we access and manipulate content. We have so many more tools available to help communicate, collaborate, create and share. The learning experiences and environments we can provide our students these can change.<\/p>\n
Thought 2:
\nHow do we document in-formal learning to receive credit that can be applied to such things as professional development credit? Some times I feel I earn ‘attendance credit’ for go to PD sessions, what about ‘learning credit’. Can our students document their learning outside of class for school credit? How do we emphasis that school is only a part of our education? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
