Hey guys! I know it's pretty early in the week to describe how my week is going, but I came across an interesting article I wanted to share. Well, I'll officially share it with you later, for now I have a quick quiz.*GASP* I know, I know you thought you were done with quizzes and test for a while, but I promise this is not that bad!!
I'm going to list 3 (see not so bad) common thoughts about learning and I want you to comment whether you think each statement is fact or a myth. I'll post the answers along with an explanation at the end of the week along with my weekly recap. :)
1. The students who are learning in the igeneration (they never knew what it was like to learn without the aid of technology) are better at multitasking and will learn better through the use of many digital additions to the classroom.
2. Students know best and can decide for themselves what type of learner they are and what type of learning style best suits them. (Visual vs. Verbal vs. Hands on, etc)
3. Students should be self educators and should be in control over what they learn and how they learn it.
See you soon!

I'm going to have to go with 1. myth, 2. fact, 3. hmmm to an extent but not entirely...? I don't think I have the confidence to label 3 completely as a fact or a myth. I guess we'll see if I'm right at the end of the week! Watch me get all of them wrong haha. Also your project is great :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the pictures in your blog.... especially the one of Cosmo.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with:
1 - Fact
2 - Myth
3 - This is a tough one as it required me to say how learning should be done in all cases... I believe that some students are capable of knowing what to learn and how to learn, but in general, they should not be in control of their own learning, at least until they show that they can handle it (perhaps around age 16 - 18).
I think this is an interesting post, and I want to know there answers as soon as I can. But for now, here are my guesses:
ReplyDelete1. myth
2. fact
3. I like Chris's answer, but I'll say myth
I think I'm going to say
ReplyDelete1. Myth
2. Fact
3. Myth
Regarding the first statement, I think technology makes school easier, so the students who have only used technology in school are not as adept as those who haven't. For the second and third, I believe students know what kind of learners they are, but I don't believe they have enough experience to teach themselves.
I like the idea with the quiz!
Hey Val!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, what a great blog!
Second of all :
1. Myth
2. Myth
3. Myth
This is so much fun! Keep posting!
Hey Val!
ReplyDeleteI think your project is one of my favorites that I've looked at so far and I can't wait to see where your project leads! I love all these fun facts, it's so interactive!
As for my guesses:
1. Fact
2. Myth
3. Fact (for students of a certain age, just as Chris said)
This is such a creative way to blog! I'm excited for your next post!

ReplyDeletehmmm.. fact, myth, fact! I feel like that isn't correct but I am going to give it a shot anyway. Can't wait to see the answers!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go ahead and say they're all MYTHS because I can see the argument for all 3 and maybe its a trick question sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteAlright, kind of rough, but myth fact myth.
ReplyDeletemyth, fact, myth?
ReplyDeleteBut then again, i feel like they can all be myths.
Ack, thinking.
1. Myth 2. Fact 3. Myth? I Feel like the answers will be exactly the opposite of what I picked, or they are trick answers and there is actually no answer. Haha, looking forward the answers!
ReplyDeleteHey Val,
ReplyDeleteI really like the presentation throughout this whole blog! I’m typically one who critiques these types of things, but you actually did a great job. I love the images you included and the background is really fitting for the blog. As for the questions…
1. Myth
2. Myth. I think the observer or instructor will see this one the best.
3. I think this is true, but only to an extent. I’m part of a similar class where I have the flexibility to choose an area of study and create a project based on that. I think that class has been enormously successful because of the amount of flexibility.
This has been really good so far!

Ah thank you so much! Feel free to critique my blog! I'm open to suggestions! This is my first time blogging, so I'm just kind of winging it!
