I used active learning to learn to ride the motorcycle on an incline. When I tried to drive straight, the motorcycle would go slowly. But I learned that if I drove back and forth, it helped the motorcycle to drive faster.

2)Learning to submit online homework:
As international student it was hard for me to know the process of finding and submitting assignments. I was able to use active learning as I clicked on different parts of the website and figured out where to upload the assignments.]]> 2021-08-29 21:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/samirbechchar2/q5ule9gonzpdd0z1/wish/1702935045 samirbechchar2 https://padlet.com/samirbechchar2/q5ule9gonzpdd0z1/wish/1702947341 1) Learning about meaningful learning:
 I was able to constructive learning when I read the chapter and created my own headline. This helped me understand because I had to put everything I read into my own words.

2) Learning about the US culture:
When I came to the US, I wrote about my experiences in a journal. This helped me process the similarities and differences between Morocco and America that I was experiencing. ]]> 2021-08-29 22:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/samirbechchar2/q5ule9gonzpdd0z1/wish/1702947341 samirbechchar2 https://padlet.com/samirbechchar2/q5ule9gonzpdd0z1/wish/1702954034 1)Learning to apply for a visa:
I used intentional learning when I applied for my visa because I wanted to study in the US and I knew I needed to submit a lot of documents for it. With the goal of studying in the US, I spent hours learning all that I needed to know.

2) Learning to take the bus:
I also used intentional learning when I needed to know how to take the bus to campus. With the goal of getting to class, I was motivated to go to the bus station, download the app and ask different poeple about how to use the bus.]]> 2021-08-29 22:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/samirbechchar2/q5ule9gonzpdd0z1/wish/1702954034 samirbechchar2 https://padlet.com/samirbechchar2/q5ule9gonzpdd0z1/wish/1702959278 1) Learning how to change airport terminals:
Before I came to the US, my American friends explained to me how to go from terminal 1 to terminal 3 for my next flight. When I got to New York, I authentically learned how to change terminals by walking around and getting on the train.

2) Learning how to farm:
I used authentic learning with my grandpa when we worked on the farm. He explained how plants grow, but I did not really understand until I saw the plants growing for myself.]]> 2021-08-29 22:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/samirbechchar2/q5ule9gonzpdd0z1/wish/1702959278 samirbechchar2 https://padlet.com/samirbechchar2/q5ule9gonzpdd0z1/wish/1702963697 1) Learning from coworkers:
I heard about good techniques in the classroom from different teachers, but what helped me learn these techniques was talking about what was going on in my classroom with others. Having conversations helped me to learn the teaching techniques better. 

2) Learning how to use ecourseware:
I was trying to learn to use ecourseware on my own, but found that talking to others helped me to learn better. ]]> 2021-08-29 22:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/samirbechchar2/q5ule9gonzpdd0z1/wish/1702963697
