Empowered Learner by Danny Smith https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu Think of a moment where you felt empowered as a learner. What did that feel like? How did you grow from that experience? en-us 2021-03-16 20:37:43 UTC 2021-03-19 14:13:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f929.png When I Don't Feel Empowered (Melissa) manders https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu/wish/1320402868 I think it would be easier for me to talk about when I don't feel empowered as a learner. I don't feel empowered when I don't have a voice as a student. I don't feel empowered when I don't have an interest in the subject matter. I don't feel empowered when I don't see the purpose or the "so what" in what I am supposed to be learning. I also don't feel empowered when I feel like the teacher doesn't care about what they are teaching. ]]> 2021-03-17 13:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu/wish/1320402868 As an adult learner I have felt most empowered when I am allowed to work and learn in an active setting. I experienced this at NC State working with the Lab Quest to create citizen science activities. https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu/wish/1320403609 2021-03-17 13:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu/wish/1320403609 Empowered Learner https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu/wish/1320407537 In my most recent grad school class, the teacher made each of us discussion leaders for the documents and books that we read. She set clear parameters but we were allowed to guide the discussion for our classmates and develop our own ideas related to the text. It made the course more engaging, the conversation more fruitful, and the material more accessible. We didn't get a choice in the document/chapter we were assigned but being allowed to choose the structure and direction of the conversation was empowering. ]]> 2021-03-17 13:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu/wish/1320407537 https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu/wish/1320407576 When I am able to learn something that I find value in and builds my confidence.]]> 2021-03-17 13:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu/wish/1320407576 dannys3 https://padlet.com/dannys3/nzladswf9xbmx6tu/wish/1320412229
