Learning An Active Approach!

Active Learning is a new buzzword so to speak in the educational community. However for many teachers active learning is nothing new. Active Learning is simply students doing something rather than being passive while learning. Great teachers know that students learn and remember more easily when they are active participants in their learning. The site above shows many different ways teachers can use active learning in their classrooms to assist their students and increase their potential! Active learning powers the brain to process information in a variety of multi-sensory ways. When a student watches a video and then responds to it they not only see and hear the video they are retelling, relating and responding to it.
