WEEK 3

After 20 years in education I am a firm believer that children and adults alike create their own understanding and knowledge of the world based from prior experience. We have to remember as educators that each child brings their own schema to the classroom ad that alone can be a creative learnign tool for the whole class. When students learn for others expereince or teachers use interactive tools to reinforce the learning in the classroom the positive outcomes are huge. We have all been faced with difficult students who just seem to not care. It isn't a matter of not caring, it is not knowig what to care about. Allowing students to have the knowledge will lead to expert learners. Teachers need to learn just how to allow children to have the knowledge and let go of the control factor.
