We need to know what we are suppose to be learning - ie the learning intention, how we know when we are there ( meeting the criteria), and what steps we can take to get there. If you're trying to create with a 3D printer, and nothing is printing from your printer we'll take that knowledge to figure out where we've gone wrong, and what we can do to move our learning forward. ;-) Excited to be on THAT learning journey with you. I'm also glad that we won't stop trying to create a 3D print because it didn't work the first time. Our results will help inform our next steps!

Far too often teachers control far too much of the learning environment to the point where it doesn't belong to the student at all. As Shelley mentions below, it's important to keep the learning intentions in mind and so whether it's the student, a peer, or the teacher, this should remain as the focus to move learning forward. What do you think?K Lirenmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058037226665551154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730514995199630178.post-84420882149147178252015-07-21T16:43:43.817-07:002015-07-21T16:43:43.817-07:00Hi Karen.

Some are simple and easy to achieve and others are more complex and require us to break up the tasks into smaller learning bytes to scaffold the learning. An example: Learning to use a 3D printer. I will need multiple opportunities (rtial and error) to learn the basics of the printer before I begin incorporating more complex design principles. I can hardly wait!!!Shelley Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589368257653500906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730514995199630178.post-16548586225336004422015-07-21T14:30:35.147-07:002015-07-21T14:30:35.147-07:00Great points Karen.

They see the growth much faster too when they are more in charge of understanding and owning their next steps than by me, as their teacher, simply telling them what their next steps should be.
