Me, As A Learner

 * What motivates you to learn? The need to learn arises as I notice an area rife for improvement and realize that I don't currently have all the knowledge and tools I would like to have in order problem-solve the best solution
 * What must you have in order for your learning to be successful? I first need to create relevancy by connecting the moment to my future purpose, and engaging the current schema I have around the topic, then be actively engaged in adding the new learning/content/ideas at a pace that keeps me busy and actively processing, time fore reflection and application with solid ideas recorded before leaving the topic also helps, a chance to discuss ideas aloud helps me clarify and focus, and real life application moments help solidify the learning and then creates the need to learn again...making it very cyclical


 * What causes you to pay attention, even if the topic you’re studying is not your favorite? Relevancy to my world- need to use the information to help or support others in my circle of influence


 * What makes you shut down? <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline;">When I have other very urgent things fighting for my attention and the current content/topic/ideas don't have much relevancy


 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How can we create or avoid these conditions in our learning community? <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">Find real world, relevant reasons for key concepts we are teaching/learning...find ways to cover state required content in big, real world questions and quests that compete successfully for student attention and focus- even more interdisciplinary challenges that don't pit one class against another in the competition for student attention

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Burning Questions
//As you journey through the next few days, months and new school year, jot down any burning questions that surface in your thinking...// <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">What do really good examples of redefinition/transformation look like?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Personal Connections
//What connections are you drawing to your own learning, your practice, your experiences...?// <span style="color: #1ba727; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">What a privilege it has been to become an adult and have some freedom and say in what I learn...kids deserve this refreshing experience too.
