In My Ele_ment

I'm fascinated by the possibilities of what we are still calling e_learning...triggered by a desire to engage learners as I am engaged. I went to a workshop a few years ago and on returning to school, the principal asked me what I thought. "Like a hog in mud," I enthused. E_learning isn't just about using digital tools. It's about developing a whole new way of learning and starting to see that we don't have to stick with current models of education. The possibilities are exciting!

Problem Based Learning

I'm finding out about this for school - it was introduced before I got to Mokoia and is another inquiry model. I wonder whether it is too conceptual for many of our kids?
I like the Allandale Model for inquiry because it pegs the stages to pictures - visual memory aids of the stages.

Westley Field impressed me at ULearn with his look at where our learning environments are going. His was the next step from that we've been hearing for the last ten years.
