Any method of having the students teach one another is a great opportunity for learning. When they record themselves, they want to make sure they have the correct facts.
I like the idea of build agency and focusing more on the process than the outcome to build students up so they take ownership.
Build agency in our students. Focus on the process, not the outcome.
I think it is important to reach out to all students learning abilities, wether is be visual, audio or hand-on.
I appreciated the use of video learning as I have seen the struggles of those who would otherwise fall off the mark, remain engaged and active in the process until they had actually had a substantial feeling of accomplishment. This type of positive learning environment bolsters energy towards a strong neurologic trend in learning.
I like the video in action idea and can see how it will work in HST to help students.
This year, I had students choose many of their own cooking projects and gave them choice in how they showcased their work. Videos were a popular choice.
"Building Student Agency" raises awareness of what they are capable of achieving and pushes them to do more than what they thought were capable of. I plan on utilizing building student agency in the classroom.
Having lab activities and hands-on learning helps students visualize the goal. I enjoy lab days and watching the lightbulb click and the student(s) put everything together. Pictures are a 2D world and the information sometimes cannot build a real connection to all the information.
In this lesson I learned that we need to build student agency. With buildingof student agency you are building studnets sense of self-efficacy. With the CTE labs students work with more independence and responsible than they have in traditional classroom, everything they do give tem results they can see.
