In Pursuit of In(ter)dependent Learning: Kio Stark. Humans are by far the most skilled social learners of this planet’s millions of species.
We’re biologically equipped to pay attention to and learn from each other, and we’ve devised cultural tools such as speech and writing to augment our biologically endowed cognitive capabilities. We’ve created institutions to equip our young people to benefit from and contribute to civilization. Unfortunately, as is often the case with powerful inventions, schooling has its drawbacks – foremost among them the dulling of many young people’s hunger for independent learning. I’ve thought about these issues ever since I was identified as a troublemaker by my first grade teacher for my inability to sit still and listen to her drone on about knowledge I had already sought out on my own.
Don’t get me wrong. Every teacher reading this, and many more people, are already thinking of the obvious rebuttal – that media access and hunger for knowledge aren’t all there is to effective learning. 4 Benefits To Cloud-Based Learning. As learning becomes increasingly digital, access becomes increasingly important.
The Flipped Classroom, for example, requires technology that only a few years ago would’ve been considered dramatic. Broadband access, CPU speed and graphics processing, multi-media production in terms of sound, image, and film, and other innovations have placed significant demands on the technology industry. Of course, as an industry grounded in business principles, it has been too eager to respond. Among those most under-appreciated of those responses has been the “cloud.” 4 Benefits To Cloud-Based Learning 1. 2. 3. 4. While not all is perfect in the clouds–privacy issues, for example–it remains an important leap in digital learning that is still evolving. The following infographic from onlinecolleges.net further explores the ins and outs of “going to the cloud.” In the comments, we’d love to hear about your experiences–in terms of challenges and successes. From: OnlineColleges.net. Learning styles. Learning style is an individual's natural or habitual pattern of acquiring and processing information in learning situations.
A core concept is that individuals differ in how they learn.[1] The idea of individualized learning styles originated in the 1970s, and has greatly influenced education.[2] Proponents of the use of learning styles in education recommend that teachers assess the learning styles of their students and adapt their classroom methods to best fit each student's learning style. Although there is ample evidence for differences in individual thinking and ways of processing various types of information, few studies have reliably tested the validity of using learning styles in education.[2] Critics say there is no evidence that identifying an individual student's learning style produces better outcomes.
