These are interesting ideas, and I would add that by creating video and audio you are not only giving variety or learning experiences but you are also supporting those who need to work in a different way.

Robert Rodenbaugh's curator insight, March 8, 2014 11:08 AM

A great list of suggestions, but overall and taking a look at #9, the key is connecting, building a relationship. Let's make sure we keep social-emotional learning (SEL) always in mind as a priority when we look to creating the education of tomorrow.

Allison Anderson's curator insight, March 10, 2014 12:28 PM

Patty Ball's insight:

Active learning is a general term that describes an approach to teaching, rather than a specific methodology, which engages students in the learning process. There are a variety of strategies to promote this engagement such as group work, inquiry exercises, and brainstorming activities. All of these strategies share the common trait of shifting the responsibility for learning from the instructor to the student by encouraging the student to be an active participant in the exploration of learning objectives.
