SWEET!
Imagine you are trying to explain the taste of sweet to someone who has never had the taste before. How do you explain sweet? Remember they have never had anything sweet before! As you can imagine this would be rather difficult. The only way to understand the taste of sweet is if you have had experienced it first hand. The same is true with education and learning. Students will gain so much more when they are hands on with their learning. Technology based learning is one of the fascinating ways to do this for students! As they explore what the possibilities are with different learning experiences they will grow tremendously. They will become confident and will take the initiative to reach goals as they set them. Hands on learning is fun and exciting! With technology today students can get beyond text books and open doors to the world around them. So jump on in and give them an experience that is indeed "sweet"!! Stay tuned as we explore different ways to integrate technology into the classroom.

This is a great analogy for teaching methods. There is no better way to learn how to do something than to just do it and learn as you go along.
ReplyDeleteStudents love hands on learning! I don't think it is a good idea to just give students packets of paper to do in school. This doesn't allow them to use their imagination.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this analogy. It is true that kids learn and perhaps even better when they are having fun. And children now have more technology at their fingertips.
ReplyDeleteLove the analogy. That is probably one of the best ways to learn is hands on. If we look up data I think hands on learning is around the top is one of the best ways to help students learn.
ReplyDeleteHands on learning satisfies the visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learner! I like it!
ReplyDeleteI like the hands on idea with technology.
ReplyDeleteShowing students different types of learning tools is definitely more exciting for children than just always doing worksheets all the time. Hands on learning is a great way to drop so much book work, and it really helps students to let their creativity flow.
ReplyDeleteHands on with technology is a good way for the students to have a broad understanding of certain things.
ReplyDeleteOh I really like the comparison that you made with describing and learning hands on. I agree that students will grow as they get more experience with their subject material.
ReplyDeleteNice comparison! I like the hands on approach.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think that hands on is the best way for students to learn!
