I make the students aware of the reasons why they are learning. https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740080 2017-06-08 14:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740080 Giving up total control is somewhat scary...but I guess it's like going bungee jumping for the first time - after fully preparing yourself, you close your eyes and hope for the best. https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740279 2017-06-08 14:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740279 Suzanne MadameSuzanne https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740449 When you give students responsibility over their learning, and let go of some control, they might actually retain something! ]]> 2017-06-08 14:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740449 Cathy https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740818 It has helped me to look at my teaching from a different perspective.  It has given my students more freedom  and voice, a bit scary, but they love it.  They have been more engaged in their learning.]]> 2017-06-08 14:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740818 Creativity https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740844 2017-06-08 14:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175740844 Imagine a classroom in which the students construct their own knowledge? How perverse! https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175741353 2017-06-08 14:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175741353 Watching that video was really interesting. Did anyone in this room ever research the origins of our school system? It is soooo hard to change paradigms that have existed for so long. Non-teachers that I speak with still can't wrap their head around these alternative styles of learning...was traditional school so positive for them? or did they just adapt to what was the norm and have accepted that as the status quo? https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175741650 2017-06-08 14:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175741650 https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175746837 Changing my way of teaching has been a challenge and will continue to be. Finding the right tool/reading at their level to teach social studies to the kids is a challenge. Finding way for them to acquire knowledge is a challenge but this is what I have been working on and I have made progress and I am very proud of these progress.]]> 2017-06-08 14:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175746837 I feel like I am questioning myself more....I reflect more on why I am doing certain things. https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175748178 2017-06-08 15:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kmeldrum1/qd5vy1s97a8p/wish/175748178
