Dynamic Learning

Rubiel's curator insight, September 16, 2017 10:04 PM

The author shares the idea about going beyond the mere fact of being learning only in the classroom. His thoughts on being more autonomous when implementing tools which provide the learners with the opportunity to practice at home leaves a space to consider the way we are making the education happen nowadays. Thereupon, I agree with the consideration about having learners dig deeper into their learning on their own terms with the tecnological devices found in this new era and let them dig deeper on things the are interested in the most.

This article advices teachers to help their students see learning as an entire life process, and that with all the tools we have available today it does not have to be boring, limited or seen as a burden. Instead, teachers can help them power and further a mindset of proactivity and independence in learning. It means that the children, teenagers or adults in a class can come to understand ,with their teacher’s help, that learning does not always mean to have a board and a teacher in front of a classroom. This article notes that it is of high importance for teachers to constantly be updated in all the new tools that are available for education, and to learn how to use them beyond the common and old way. In this new, connected and more globalized world, learning does not have to stop necessarily when the school day or year ends, it can be at any time, and also interesting and exciting; the deal here is to have teachers and therefore students thinking out of the box, and seeing education notas a burden or a must, but an enjoyable process insofar as this mindset is well provided and spread.

As Gust MEES notes in his blog: “We are good at assessing literacy and numeracy skills and students' depth of content knowledge in core subjects. These will continue to be critical. But what of broader skills such as resilience, that idea of the growth mindset, the capacity to fail and try again, to persevere? Do we know enough about the most effective teaching practices, the tools and resources schools need to nurture them and how best to assess their attainment?”

Gust raises good questions about teaching students to learn. There are a variety of complex and simple policies and practices to answer these questions. One strategy is incorporating universal design for learning (UDL) principles into learning strategies: this helps meet the needs of a variety of learners. UDL researchers promote the concept of developing expert learners; author Katie Novak blogs about expert learners at:
