Participate in a class discussion in which you begin by addressing the following issues/questions:
- If just adding an active learning activity or component to a course does not improve learning how does/or can one simply add those constructivist elements necessary for improving learning?
- Consider how the ideas from the new culture of learning and the learning philosophy modules in EDLD 5313 could make a difference in adding those constructivist elements necessary for improving learning.
- Collaboration for the sake of collaboration is not enough—what is necessary for collaboration to be truly effective?
- Consider the emphasis on learning in the OCSB video —how can you create a similar emphasis on learning for your PD initiative?
Please remember the list of questions is for your benefit and is intended to help you focus your thinking. We are not asking nor expecting you to answer each question in your discussion--rather you should use these questions to help focus on how the insights gained through this discussion will help you to add another component to your innovation plan.
