Q1: When you hear the term
#ExperientialEducation
, what comes to mind?
DrMerriRajaniem
Apr 17 @ 7:11 PM EDT
A1. Experience based learning, hands-on with Ss engagement
#NHed
guilfordt
Apr 17 @ 7:11 PM EDT
A1: Participatory learning-active engagement by students
#nhed

Apr 17 @ 7:11 PM EDT
I think of terms like multi-sensory, multi-media, lots of "multi's" put S in the center of the learning.
#nhed

Apr 17 @ 7:12 PM EDT
A1: Learning by doing. Exploring
#nhed

A1: learning that pushing traditionalist boundaries, creating an environment where Ss and Ts aren't afraid to try new

A1: For me,
#ExperientialEducation
meant learning by doing but then I realized that something was missing... more on that in Q2
DrMerriRajaniem
Apr 17 @ 7:16 PM EDT
"The desire to go on learning" is a powerful statement

We need to incorporate Ss reflection and goal setting

Q2: Is the experience enough? How does one learn through experience?
DrMerriRajaniem
Apr 17 @ 7:21 PM EDT
A2. One learns more from experience when you add thought provoking Qs, reflection, analyzing data/process, goal setting, + collab
#NHed
gallianstone
Apr 17 @ 7:21 PM EDT
It might be enough, but I'm not sure it's necessary. Some things I'd much rather learn by observing!
#nhed
DrMerriRajaniem
Apr 17 @ 7:21 PM EDT
I meant PROGRESS not process. Typo

Interesting though, what did you have in mind?

trial and error- solving problems through failure

Places I haven't been/won't ever see, things I don't have the skill/materials/patience to try myself.
#nhed

Apr 17 @ 7:25 PM EDT
When we reflect, think, analyze, question, the learning becomes more intentional, strategic, & purposeful
#NHed

I love watching people do things I'd never try myself - and I think there's a lot to be learned from that experience too!

A2: Does it meet the Ss needs? If it doesn't then there is more that needs to happen. We all learn differently

A3. Talented Ts make learning relevant to Ss and plan engaging activities and opportunities. They build relationships, make it fun

A3. Know your Ss. If I get excited and treat every activity like a game, I can get my Ss on board for almost anything.

@gallianstone
Teacher excitement translates to Ss being excited too

Q4: We keep talking about a learning revolution. Are we there yet?

Student reflection is a critical component imho
#nhed
DrMerriRajaniem
Apr 17 @ 7:44 PM EDT
A4. Headed in that direction with Growth Mindset, Goal Setting, 21st cent skills, Mathematical Practices, etc. but not there yet

We know that tomorrow's jobs haven't been invented. Learning needs to transcend current job markets.
