Though, as adults, we often know more than our students, we don't know everything. When students get to explore what interests them, within a topic area, they are more eager learners. The group, as a whole, often learns more by sharing their knowledge with each other, than they could possibly learn from a single person, regardless of how learned that person might be. <br /><br />Students are now "prosumers." They both produce and consume information. With direction and some supervision, students become so much more than just sponges. They learn more skills than reading, taking notes, and listening. They are proud of their learning, which makes their learning stick with them longer. Even if they don't use technology, project-based learning works wonders.<br /><br />I'm glad you decided to forgo your discomfort and choose this teaching strategy. I think you'll be astounded with what both you and your students will learn!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
