- shows how children teach themselves
1) Remoteness - effects quality of education: schools and institutions
in remote areas outside of mainstream life are found to have a lower
standard of education.
* 6-13 year olds will self instruct if they have the resources
* primary education can happen on its own
2) Children can self organize - learning is a self organizing system
"Any teacher that can be replaced by a machine, should be ..."
* I think this is a fair statement because if a teacher is not able to
give his or her students the in depth learning experience that a
computer or some type of technology could, there is no point for them
being there other than to supervise. If the technology is there for
students to use, it should be utilized in everyday learning.
Learner-Centered planning and instruction
Three Strategies:
1. Problem based
2. essential questions (essay question)
3. discovery learning (research assignment)
- links the project to their curiosity
- allows students to discover connections for themselves
Integrating the Curriculum
- more real - more authentic
