Session Content

There will be information to learn, activities to experiment with, and specific strategies to try. 

 

 Go To Notes

There will be “go to” notes when you forget something or get confused. These notes will provide simple statements, examples, and metaphors to try to make ideas clearer. 

 

There will be alternative activities and strategies to try out, too..  No matter how good an activity or strategy seems when the teacher or peer coach plans it, it might not work for you.  Here is the place where there will be other things to try.  You will also find "Just for Fun" ideas here.  Learning is serious because it has consequences for our futures, but it should also be fun.  You teacher or peer coach will update this page as they see things that are and are not working.

 

You are encouraged to contribute to this page, too!  Let your teammates know when something is or isn't working for you.

 

 

FAQs

Everybody has questions when they are learning.  It is important to ask your questions and to see what kinds of questions other learners are asking.  You will have a whole team helping you to find the answers.  You can do this on the Discussion ForumChat Space,  and on your Personal Pages

 

Help

And, you will have a peer coach and teacher adviser to support your efforts and coach you through challenging tasks.  You will also collaborate* will other learners.  Your Teacher Coach and Peer Coach will be available through the discussion forum,  chat room, and via your personal wiki page.

 

Progress

Your peer coach will help you develop a template to keep track of your progress of specific Major Assignments..  The expectation is that you will track your overall progress on a weekly basis.  We expect everybody to help everybody else make progress. Your record of progress will be part of your semester grade.  You can use the Learning Lab Rubric as a tool for keeping tract of overall progess as well as as a model  for creating your own rubrics.

 

*Glossary

We will have a glossary of terms used in these units.  Some of terms you might not have learned before. They are part of the “language of learning:” Words like "long term memory," "metacognition," "selective attention," "abstraction," "generalize"  They words are an important part of learning how to learn, of managing your learning.
