Great post in supporting your position on ...Debbie,<br />Great post in supporting your position on a learning theory! Your discussion post indicates that teaching students with learning disabilities, you incorporate a variety of learning strategies. Upon using various strategies, what happens when a student is not successful in learning? Are you held accountable for students who do not learn? What are your options in moving that student forward?<br /><br />Michele Baylor<br /><br />Have a Wonderful New Year!!msmichele8842https://www.blogger.com/profile/13090151643995770770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844900867645662569.post-45721582825851365332011-12-19T16:01:07.275-08:002011-12-19T16:01:07.275-08:00I have responded to Sandra Dykes' Blog.

I like having my students participate in hands on activities. I feel that if the students actually have something to do they pay better attention than if I am just talking. When the students have to listen to a lecture some become lost in daydreams. I believe that technology is a perfect way to get students activly engaged.

I agree that small groups or partner work is needed in all classrooms. No matter the age of a student, they can learn so much from each other. You stated, “I believe learners learn best when they have ownership of the direction they will take in the learning process” (Morris, D. December 14, 2011). I recently shifted some of the things that I do in my classroom and I am continually, making gradual changes giving the students ownership for what they need to work on during our reading block. Giving them ownership, including having them come up with the guidelines for how they will carry out certain activities has been effective.<br /><br />Nadine Petrie-WaymyersOrganic Book Nookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614023470057190626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844900867645662569.post-31649495109949694792011-12-17T17:50:47.967-08:002011-12-17T17:50:47.967-08:00Hi Debra,

But, then again, I think you have heard this pedagogic clarion call from me in our doctoral pursuit many times before. Engagement, though, is engagement, and from my vantage point no matter how often the refrain, this kind of learning reinforcement serves as a primer for a more conducive and effective learning process.<br /><br />Thanks once again for hitting all the right pedagogic buttons -- and cutting to the chase when it comes to effective learning theories. Dewey would have been so proud of your approach, with Tyack and Cuban closely in tow.<br /><br />All the best, Debra.<br /><br />FredFred Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03209233608204481738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844900867645662569.post-80230930294276915292011-12-17T15:47:40.901-08:002011-12-17T15:47:40.901-08:00Hello Debra,

Furthermore, I totally agree with you that small groups and peer input provides meaningful learning experiences. Do you believe that digital tools allow our students more hands on experiences that provide more concrete learning expereinces? What positive attributes do you believe that technology provides to this generation of learners? Great post!<br /><br />Sandra DykesSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033453865344786272noreply@blogger.com
