Adapting A Social Learning Strategy Framework For Education

Adapting A Social Learning Strategy Framework For Education | ICT for Australian Curriculum | Scoop.it

Should teachers “sell” content? Does it hurt to see the learning process in that light? This framework is broken down into two categories–Strategy Development & Engagement. What if, instead of considering teacher strategies, we focused on learning strategies, and began each unit or lesson by clarifying learning strategies, learning actions, and learner engagement, including:

1. WHAT the student engages with–from peers to teachers to content and technology

2. WHO the student engages with

3. WHEN the student engages

4. WHY the student makes those engagements

Maree Whiteley's insight:

Very cool infographic...something to prompt discussion with your colleagues and/or your students.
