TRUTHS ABOUT HOW WE LEARN
When learners engage in and practice doing actual activities, it creates meaningful interactions and authentic learning experiences.
Only learners can learn and provide information and knowledge, but actual "learning" will only happen if the learner is interested and engaged at that time. Learning needs to be the learner's choice, learner-led, and learner-centered.
The most effective learning environment fosters shared, collaborative experiences in which learners mentor and teach one another. It includes learners of varying degrees of age, skill, and talent. Learners observe others help others, are supported by others, and work together.
