When I went to tell my speech, I forgot everything I was going to say. But, I remembered the topic was supposed to be about a fun memory that has impacted your life. I used active learning because I adjusted to my audience, who were my sorority sisters, and I spoke of a fun filled day with my dad. 

Another experience I had was when I was in kindergarten during show and tell. In my class I had several friends which, when we got together, there was no stopping our laughs! When I stood up to show my item, I did not know it at the time, but I had to pretend they were not there, so I would not laugh. That was active learning while adjusting to my audience.]]> 2021-08-31 00:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lwaldrop5/op1l8mss6jeel0jd/wish/1705663318 lwaldrop5 https://padlet.com/lwaldrop5/op1l8mss6jeel0jd/wish/1705665105 An experience I had with constructive learning was when I was in the 3rd grade, and my teacher showed us a picture of sand with an ocean, and she asked us what this was called. We had no idea it was called a beach. Mrs. Hair then told us the name of said picture, and the word started to make sense, because we had prior knowledge of what sand and water together looked like.

Another experience I had with constructive learning was just the other day. It actually happens almost every night at my house. My roommates and I love to watch movies, so we were watching "Legally Blonde" the other night. In just about the third scene it shows Elle Woods and her friends picking out a dress for her date with her boyfriend. The friends say the dress has to be prefect because "this isn't just any other date, this is the date." That statement assumes that she is going to be proposed too that night because she states, "the date".]]> 2021-08-31 00:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lwaldrop5/op1l8mss6jeel0jd/wish/1705665105 lwaldrop5 https://padlet.com/lwaldrop5/op1l8mss6jeel0jd/wish/1705667441 An experience I had with cooperative learning was when I was in elementary school, we started learning place values with the number blocks. Our teacher put us in groups of 5, and it was interesting to see who was very involved in the group work, and who was not. The article is correct, and this did happen to me. Because some people knew we were not being graded individually, others did not participate in the activity. So, I was left grouping all of the blocks together for our assignment.

Another experience I had was in choir in middle school. Every year we have a drawing contest to see which choir student can draw the best cover page for the front of our recital program book. This is a fun activity that everyone should participate in for extra credit. But, again because we were not graded students chose to opt out of this activity.]]> 2021-08-31 00:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lwaldrop5/op1l8mss6jeel0jd/wish/1705667441 lwaldrop5 https://padlet.com/lwaldrop5/op1l8mss6jeel0jd/wish/1705668470 An experience I had with authentic learning was w2hen I was in elementary school. In kindergarten, I was taught subtraction with zero. My teacher went straight into teaching us with an example like "3-0=?" Instead of "If I have 3 apples and I give my friend all 3, how many do I have left over?" This example would have been more productive rather than explaining mathematically to a group of 5 and 6 year olds when it is technically correct that 3 is the answer to that specific problem.

Another example that I had with authentic learning was back in high school in my psychology class, I learned about conditioned stimulus. This is where if you repeat a phrase or sound while the subject is doing the action or response that you want, you say the phrase or make the sound at that same time. When I become a teacher I will be applying conditioned stimulus in my classroom by clapping my hands in a certain sound pattern and having the students repeat it to get them back into listening mode.]]> 2021-08-31 00:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lwaldrop5/op1l8mss6jeel0jd/wish/1705668470 lwaldrop5 https://padlet.com/lwaldrop5/op1l8mss6jeel0jd/wish/1705669938 An example that I use in my every day life for intentional learning, is driving to school every day. It is set in my brain that I want to succeed in all of my classes, so I get up each morning and drive to class because I want to be there. 

Another example of intentional learning in every day life is drinking coffee each morning. I get up with the intention that I have to start my day with a fresh brewed cup of coffee. Even though I moved out of my parents house and my mom used to make my coffee every day, I make my own now.]]> 2021-08-31 00:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lwaldrop5/op1l8mss6jeel0jd/wish/1705669938
