what does learning mean to you?

Another semester is underway and firstly we have to clarify our views on learning. More often than not we come up with complex paradigms and explanations of the world. I came across this simple proverb which for me just about sums up the learning and teaching dynamic and something to keep in mind when designing  e-learning environments.

Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.” Chinese proverb

I also love the above pic which I am sure is happening in many classrooms around the world -the combination of technologies – the old and the new.  If you asks the students here – which is the most engaging? I wonder what they would say….they do seem pretty immersed in what they are doing.

So how do we incorprate sound pedagogy into e-learning design to develop engaging and authentic learning experiences and outcomes…..don’t have the answers yet but I am sure to find out during the semester. 

Happy for anyone to comment and provide a few pearls of wisdom to inspire me for the semester…..
