AKTIVE LEARNING

Active learning is a great way to help students understand a topic better. Many times students learn better when helped by other students. At the same time, there are people like myself who find it easier to learn by yourself. I enjoy lectures, and sometimes find it difficult to work well in a group. But again, that is why there are so many methods to choose from. Working in a group is a great way to get students engaged in a activity, since many get bored just hearing the teacher. I am positive that one day i will use active learning in my own classroom. The chapter on Active learning was very helpful and talked about many techniques that can improve the quality of an activity. Many times it is not only important to know information, but to actually practice what you know.
