ED111....Interesting and Informative

I really enjoyed ED111 (Active Learning) as a reminder of the importance of allowing students to help facilitate their own learning.  I think far too often we get cornered into subjectively believing that lectures and pedogogical methods are the preferred method of teaching.  Adult learners are very different and flourish when active learning teachniques are employed.  ED111 reaffirmed my belief that enabling students to help each other and self-direct themselves to positive outcomes is an effective, and often necessary, method to successful learning.

Yes, I totally agree.  As an adult, myself, I feel that I am always trying to actively learn.  When people just "tell" me things, I tend to blow it off or more likely, just plain forget.  If it happens to me, or I do something or solve it myself, I remember it much better.
