Rethinking Learning: The 21st Century Learner | MacArthur Foundation. YouTube. TPACK Radio/Video Show ISTE 2010. Learning story - Walsheys World. Shively's Article response - Walsheys World. The Shively article was good because it discussed the way that schools are beginning to look outside of the box and not just teach students in the conventional way that people are accustomed to. The idea is to embrace the corky responses that students have to questions and encourage them to channel their energy into solving problems.

The Article focused on the terms Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, and Elaboration. Fluency- Is the idea of having many ideas to choose from so that the creative wheels get rolling. The more ideas the better and make sure that everyone accepts every idea and does not interrupt even if they disagree because that is how people get on a role with ideas. If people interrupt and say why they disagree that kills the flow to all the ideas going around the room and you will not make any progress.

Flexibility- Is the ability to look at something through a different angle, view point, or just in someone else's shoes that you would not normally look through. Stop Motion Animation - Walsheys World. Tool Commercial - Walsheys World. Learning Environment - Walsheys World. I have a different type of setup than the conventional person and if you know me that is not surprising. One vital part of learning is comfort and i think that this classroom screams comfort. This is supposed to be a very laid back class and I think that the outline shows this to be true.

This class is modeled after an English or Journalism class. Since these classes generally demand people to be around for a long time i think it is important that they are comfortable so that they can display their best work. This class has four tables that seat four people per table. One very noticeable feature that sticks out like a sore thumb is the couches and bean bag chairs distributed throughout the class.

Good morning and welcome to "Forest Lake Today".

Alex, do you have any announcements? Yes, I do… Narrator: Watching the morning TV show at Forest Lake Elementary in Columbia, South Carolina, gives you a good sense of what this school is all about. Speaking of cool, Robert, what's the weather going to be like today? Narrator: It is a place where differentiated instruction sparks every individual's passion for learning. Right now I want to introduce you to our team, and they're going to tell you about their invention. Well, the Sani-Sipper, there's a tube that hooks up to this nozzle, and it has a detector, causing the sanitizer to clean it at every use. Our mission is the super-absorbent polymer, and… Narrator: They have partnered with NASA and focused on science, technology, engineering, math and geography. Here. Kappy Cannon: I think many, many years ago students who were in teacher-education programs learned how to kind of teach down the middle and do a little here and a little there.

Whoa.
