Induction - Day Two

What?  

After the session on the model of learning this morning I feel like I have more of a handle on how to plan and which direction to take the learning in LH3.  I really like the framework of the four Cs (and the pairs of words that go with each one) and think it will give us some solid direction for us and our learners.  

I was also reminded of the key competencies as we learnt about learning stories as assessment.  It will be really good to keep these in mind as we learn, plan and reflect.

So what?

It's going to be important that I remember the four elements of the learning model to guide the learners in LH3 to build on their knowledge.  I'll also need to remember that different learners will start with different parts of the model depending on what they're doing, what their prior knowledge is and their learning style.  It was pointed out today that sometimes there will need to be more structure to a learning experience and Lisa and myself will have to guide this ourselves.  Some learning might go on too long or become too broad without our scaffolding so we'll need to keep that in mind. 

Now what?

My first step is to learn the four elements and the pairs of words that go with each one.  I'll also need to create some sort of display in the habitat to use as a guide.  It would be good to have something that the learners can interact with, the one we used today had velcro which allowed us to move the word pairs around depending on what we were talking about.  As LH3 has new learners, and new learning coaches, we'll need to go through it, discuss it and model it over the first few weeks (we'll need to figure out how to do that!).
