BLC11: Darren Kuropatwa - 21st Century Bricoleurs

http://adifference.blogspot.com/

4 lenses

  • learner centred encourage attention to preconceptions and begin instruction with what students think and know
  • knowledge centred (focus on what might be taught, why it is taught, and what mastery looks like,
  • assessment centred (provide frequent opportunities to make students' thinking and learning visible as a guide for both the teacher and the student)
  • community centred (encourages a culture of questioning, respect and risk taking)

Darren encourages students to take picture, upload to Flickr and to use the Flickr facilities to create hotspots of knowledge overlayed on image. Flickr photos using pc30sf06 as the filer - quadratic equations - http://bit.ly/ocozG7

Surgeons not counted as having learned something until they can teach it!

Does using a wiki improve learning like asking whether a pencil improves writing! Great use of a wiki here where students contribute solutions to questions on a wiki ... students edit others' work - http://apcalc07.pbworks.com/w/page/8656201/FrontPage ... resulting in a collaborative solutions manual!
