Today was the first class of Teaching and Learning with Beverly. We discussed learning, how to define it and the key elements of learning. With fellow students we defined “learning as a continual process of taking in new ideas and building on what you already know. Learning is not limited by age, gender, setting or abilities. Learning includes challenges experimenting and having fun. It ultimately shapes and molds individuals to be better citizen and individuals”. We came up with this definition through an activity called placemat. Another important topic we discussed was the kinds of learning styles. These consist of visual, auditory and kinesthetic. This class is going to be vital is preparing me to be the best possible teacher I can be to my future students. I look forward to learning more in this class by continuing to have an open-mind and expanding my knowledge.
