Module 7: Activity 4 - Knowledge Building





From this activity I learned that in a knowledge-building classroom, “learning is a by-product of the creation of new knowledge, but the focus of classroom work is the continual improvement of ideas”.  To engage my students in knowledge building I would

  • Present opportunities for students to practice 21st century skills

  • Present them with real world problems

  • Provide them with opportunities to create and build knowledge instead of presenting them with predetermined activities

  •  Provide opportunities for collaboration and let students decide who they would love to work with

  • Provide an online environment for students to record ideas so that they are always preserved and students can use them for self-reflection

  • Act as a facilitator of knowledge as students direct their learning, research and create

  • Provide an environment where learning is fun and students will want to be in that environment
