Group E: Instructional Values

We came up with several strong Instructional values that are worth posting here to show the world: Social” Learning*Collaborate (w/peers, students, family, friends)
*Encourage creativity
*Ensure mutual respect*Create personalized experiences
*Provide a challenging and safe environment for learning
*Use video and audio to convey emotion
*Empower
*Emotional engagement
“Pragmatic and Relevant" Learning
*Hands-on activities connected to real-life experiences
*Differentiate instruction and include practice for real assimilation
*Allow learners to control their own experience by allowing time for exploration and practice
*Limit lectures to exactly what is necessary to ensure we don't exceed the normal adult attention span
*Read and immediately apply knowledge to relevant life experiences*Preparation and organization are imperative

I like them all and hope to continue to reflect on them and apply them when needed. These values are the blueprint for this course.
