Class 5: Learning Models

Tonight teams presented the following models: Anchored Learning, Generative Learning, Cognitive Apprenticeship, the Dick and Carrey Model, and Cognitive Flexibility. All were interesting and discussions were meaningful.

A common theme that was presented was the idea of collaborative learning. While it's usefulness and purpose was debated, I found it very interesting to think about the individual's role in their own learning, as well as their role in the community.

Some models were more flexible than others, spectrum of very fluid to highly structured (sequencing??)

Anchored learning was not so clear to me until we started talking about the application. That really brought the idea to life for me (kind of anchored as it were)

More to come. . . .
