A good place to start introducting the idea of "Learning How to Learn" is with whole class activities. The more engaging and personalized the activities, the more likely students are to get interested in how they learn, how to learn.
Here are some stories that teachers have "contributed." Teachers talk about the challenges their students face and what they are doing to meet those challenges. We hope you will add some stories, too.
Start anywhere that makes sense in your context. Stay with that topic as long as you like. Then, try another topic. Or start with a category (Activities, Teacher Talk, etc.) and explore that until you feel you have maximized it. Ideally, you will find ways to integrate these topics/ideas into your classroom on a regular basis.
We will start a collection of problem solving games and videos.
Some games and videos seem just right to illustrate one or more of the 7 P.O.R.T.A.L.S. Skills. So, we've included those and will continue to add them.
These P.O.R.T.A.L.S. strategies come from a variety of sources, including some we created and used in our work with middle and high school students.
A good place to start with each of the strategies is with a whole class activity.
PRINCIPLES/PHILOSOPHIES
We've included quotes from a variety of sources in education, psychology, professional development, elearning, higher education and business. See Frameworks and Rationale. We think these reflect the information and ideas we've tried to communicate in this Explorience "Learning How to Learn" wiki.
