My Philosophy:
Experience is a powerful teacher. When learning new ideas or skills, nothing beats being able to have a direct, hands-on experience. Learning experiences can often be more powerful, long-lasting in terms of retention and transfer, and even transformative when they involve the use of blended technologies and learning contexts. By encouraging learners to create, collaborate and communicate as a natural part of the learning process, as well as encouraging students to create authentic knowledge products to demonstrate their mastery of knowledge and skills, more engaging and worthwhile opportunities for students can be offered.
