    standards

Technology only as good as the pedagogy

Television is not our model, as passivity leads
to failure

Basic Belief about Learning
  • Learning
  • Making sense of the world
  • Instruction
  • Aiding that sense making

Designing a Learning Environment
  • Learning is a means to an end not simply an end
  • The end determines what is learned
  • Learning is active learning is by doing
  • Learning is collaborative
  • Learning is reflective
  • There are opportunities to summarize what was
    learned and to consider other applications of the
    learning
  • Parallel to debrief in business and after
    action review in the services
