We have to let kids have more control over what they learn, and trust that their own interests will result in deeper learning than we could have created for them ourselves.  ]]> 2017-10-26 20:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_g_bennet/qvyvoq88k3so/wish/201026599 More Personalized Learning https://padlet.com/rachel_g_bennet/qvyvoq88k3so/wish/201026604  I really want to provide students with more personalized and individual learning based on their talents and interests. By doing so, I believe that, as Dewey states, students will “intentionally” make connections and have more natural learning. My only concern is time, and I hoping that I will learn some ways to do so more easily and regularly.]]> 2017-10-26 20:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_g_bennet/qvyvoq88k3so/wish/201026604 https://padlet.com/rachel_g_bennet/qvyvoq88k3so/wish/201026619 2017-10-26 20:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_g_bennet/qvyvoq88k3so/wish/201026619 Group Share https://padlet.com/rachel_g_bennet/qvyvoq88k3so/wish/201026740 . Everyone spoke to the concept of student learning as  a result of doing. Just listening will not produce children who can function in the world.

  • I can really appreciate what Dewey is saying about having students engage in doing rather than just learning. I think the “hands on” approach is so much more important to students today, and it creates the ultimate goal of having each student become an independent, natural learner.

In this way the English classroom can have the energy to move past the factory model of school. However, we are still crippled by the demands of the curriculum, assessments, tasks...

How do we make students interested in learning? When students have a specific task - preferably one that allows choice of approach - they bring themselves to the content and engage in deeper, more relevant ways. How do I lead my students to ask the questions, rather than ask questions for them .]]> 2017-10-26 20:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_g_bennet/qvyvoq88k3so/wish/201027053 The learning models presented in the Khan Ted Talk closely align to Dewey’s quote.

Take the new push into the world of digital learning.  An alarming number of teachers simply refuse to accept that trend and even fight against it - openly and actively.  Why?  After talking to them, it seems they just don’t have the background or structures in place to follow the trend and are afraid to try and fail; now they know how our kids feel when we hand them Macbeth.
