"This I Believe..."


Elements of successful/memorable learning

//When you were a student, what did you believe about learning, school, your classmates, and your teachers?//

//How have your beliefs changed throughout your career?//

Inspiration: __[|Paula Dinga's] __//__[|This I Believe] __ //


 * 1) Take a few minutes to read other participants' notes. Feel free to use the comment/discussion feature to compare notes.
 * 2) Listen/read/watch a set of This I Believe "essays" from teachers, students, and others.
 * 3) Reflect on your best learning experiences as a student and as a teacher. On the wiki page, above your previous answer, make a list of the elements that made those experiences so successful/meaningful. Save the page. Feel free to use the comment/discussion feature to compare notes. Also feel free to navigate back to your page and add ideas from others that fit your ethos.
 * 4) Draft your own list - "Though a This I Believe essay is NOT a list of everything one believes in, it may be helpful to start with a list of things one does believe in. Spend 25 minutes making a list of things you believe. What story might you tell from your personal experience that relates to each of those beliefs?
