Education 2.0 & 3.0

What is experiential learning? This post explores this concept, with a list of "principles as articulated by the Association for Experiential Education" and also eight images that compare experiential learning to a more traditional classroom.

Finding projects that help students understand key concepts is one way for us to include experiential education in our classroom. The images provided in this post may spark your imagination.

Biology, history, religion, foreign language, math - irrespective of the topic, in order for it to be real, it must be experienced. Authentic texts and situations can be created through drama and other arts based projects. This is the base - now add all of the extra tools and methods, in context.

This is a thought provoking article for both teachers and administrators. 

Teachers not just family members can be a part of a students mindset. How they think and what challenges to make can also be in response to how teachers are teaching them.  

This article explains in a way how helplessness can be a part of someone not being successful. It explains the initiative that someone must take to be successful in school.  

This article is talking about how educators are moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, and this has to do with the changes of the curriculum, and forced standardization. This is talking about how success is based on learning, and why some students give up on it. 

Interesting post which discusses how to pull schools out of the 20th century.

student at the heart of learning. problem based and context based learning key for this. students will often ask " why are we doing this?" if they can apply the lesson to their life it then becomes obvious why they are learning

Gerstein provides an interesting look at where education is and where education is going. She provides a look at research that shows that schools are "living within and functioning through an Education 1.0 model." She quotes an article that states "Essentialists argue that classrooms should be teacher-oriented. The teachers or administrators decide what is most important for the students to learn with little regard to the student interests. The teachers also focus on achievement test scores as a means of evaluating progress."

So what defines Education 2.0? "Education 2.0 includes more interaction between the teacher and student; student to student; and student to content/expert."

Education 3.0 moves us into a new direction, one that we are beginning to see. Content is free (think open educational resources) and readily available, It is more self-directed with a focus on creativity, problem solving and innovation.

As always there is a wealth of resources available in the post.

Excellent content, although evaluative testing issue remains unaddressed.

Le changement phénoménal de la technologie provoque de nouvelles transformations au sein de l'éducation. Éducation 3.0 arrive avec toutes les répercussions sur "savoir apprendre " comment apprendre"
