https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5 My everyday experiences with it en-us 2020-01-29 15:19:44 UTC 2020-01-30 22:37:15 UTC hello@padlet.com rlmccrrn https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437602870 1.) The earth science lab was also an example of active learning because in order to identify the rocks, we had to manipulate them. For example, we had to put a drop of acid on the rock to see if the rock would react to it, or scratch a piece of glass to see if the rock was harder/softer than glass. 
2.) I remember growing up when my neighborhood friends would teach me how to play a new game, they would make me play the game after giving me brief instructions. Sometimes just being in a situation like that makes it easier to understand the rules.]]> 2020-01-29 15:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437602870 rlmccrrn https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437603535 1.) In my honors English class, we had to take everyday issues like gun control and immigration laws and argue for and against them. This was an activity to practice writing an argumentative essay. However, instead of just telling us how to, the professor made us utilize topics that we already know and are passionate about to get the gist of it. 
2.) This type of learning reminds me of my church's priest's homilies that he gives. He always relates the daily readings to things happening in the world today. This helps to put the scripture into practice and get a better understanding of it. ]]> 2020-01-29 15:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437603535 rlmccrrn https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437604032 1.) I experienced cooperative learning in my earth science lab. We all had to work together to analyze and name rocks. This was done kind of poorly because despite having the help of classmates, leadership from the teacher is still necessary. 
2.) In my English class we were told to read an article and answer discussion questions. Afterwards, we had to discuss with another classmate how we responded to the questions. This works well because it allowed us to get another perspective on the issue at hand. ]]> 2020-01-29 15:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437604032 rlmccrrn https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437605402 1.) I experienced authentic learning in my music class. The professor was teaching us about note lengths, and after telling us what they were, he actually played some on various instruments. This worked well because students could actually hear the note lengths instead of having to imagine them. 
2.) I experienced authentic learning in my earth science lecture. My professor will teach a concept, but afterwards she relates to a real world situation. For example, we were learning about plate tectonics, and she related it to the earthquake that took place in the Caribbean.]]> 2020-01-29 15:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437605402 rlmccrrn https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437605682 1.) I believe the earth science lab also fostered intentional learning. We had to use several techniques to identify the rocks. This was essentially a game of trial and error. 
2.) When taking AP classes, I believe intentional learning was taking place. Throughout the year, my classmates and I knew that we weren't just doing all of that work for nothing. We were doing all of that work to truly grasp the material, so we could pass our AP tests. ]]> 2020-01-29 15:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rlmccrrn/3206xeaxosj5/wish/437605682
