The discussion of "Does eating an apple or drawing an apple teach you more about its texture" truly stood out to me. Of courde, eating the apple does. This is one reason why it is so impotant to fostor an envirnment of active learning when your student is in the classroom. Give them the opportunity to eat the apple!
Learning can take place eith equal rigor and engagement no matter the modality. It is critical that engagement is planned. I will engage in that planning moving forward.
The online learning should be interactive, compaired to a classroom but must be planned to keep students interactive.
In order for true learning to take place, active learing should be planned out by the instructor.
It is important to be prepared. The a good student experiencxe is done with a lot of planning.
This module showed me the importance of having students actively partake in the planning process. Having them feel that they have a sy so in their learning is critical. I will definitely solicit their input prior to beginning a new topic.
This frst module showwed that planning is required for engaging students - and lessons can and should be modified to help that engagement
This module showed me that active learning is more than just "doing" an activity. The students need to have some "ownership" of their learning and the activities to be more engaged. Creating a good learning environment is also important to promote active learning.
