2018 EDU: IMA: Learn by challenge in virtual worlds: Games, projects, Maker Model

Learn by challenge in virtual worlds:
Games, projects, Maker Model
"Everything is already known.  Your job as a student is to learn most of it and demonstrate your recall by reciting back bits of it."  We would never teach that.  These days, much of what we have to do is respond to new challenges.  A lot of the misery is delivered by the difficulties people have in responding to new challenges.  With all that in mind, how does the traditional classroom model compare with the challenge model?

  • Practice in goal-setting
  • Practice in executing a plan
  • Practice in selecting important information for attention
  • The key to remembering: pay attention to what you need to remember
  • Experience in objective achievement
  • Confidence building
