Jason’s Class Reflection for March 2nd

Last week’s class began with a video conference of sorts. I thought that the guided tour though the e-portfolios was really eye opening. This is a true example of someone “publishing” SToL research. I also began to think (as I’m sure others in the class did as well) about using e-portfolios as a tool to better my own teaching and make my findings public.

I also enjoyed our discussion of the How People Learn reading. Breaking that book into chapters and having everyone focus and explain a few chapters was a great choice. The reading was very detailed and having everyone read it all would not have worked. I also enjoyed hearing about the other chapters from everyone. I never really considered how important understanding brain functions is to teaching and learning.  The “hard sciences” surrounding brain functioning could greatly contribute to teaching and learning if they are willing to write at in an accessible manner to those outside of the discipline.
