Reflections on social learning technologies (slt)

How is it?
Seeing the whole is a far different experience than seeing the hole.
Having time to construct a meaning full whole, has for me taken a long time. To allow myself time to reflect on this, in the past has been, what I perceived then as a waste of my time. Why is this so I'm wondering now as I reflect back on the past? Ignorance or perhaps something else, at this time I'm not too sure about this, but I'm thinking about it. But I have an inkling.
I have finished reading this morning a discussion paper on Pedagogy the key issue in education.
Written by Nicholas Abbey in May 2003. This paper is in two parts.
There were several topics/areas that he described in words for me so that I could make meaning/understand.
So why did he write in this way? Surely I'm not the only person who's been struggling through the fog? In fact after reading this paper I now know I'm not alone here. Being as bold to say that many of the people I know are still trapped in the fog, but chose not to remove themselves from its clutches.

I need to invest time in learning how to use easybib for referencing articals. this is a "to do".

The answers were these: The more a teacher can emphasize . . .

  • learner independence and choice

  • intrinsic motivators and natural curiosity

  • rich, timely, usable feedback coupled with occasions for reflection and

  • active involvement in real-world tasks

  • emphasizing higher-order abilities

  • done with other people in high-challenge, low-threat environments

  • that provide for practice and reinforcement
. . . the greater the chances he or she will realize the deep learning that makes a difference in student lives.
