Active Learning

I teach writing classes, so active learning has been a tough barrier to breach. Once I introduced the idea of how much improved writing skills can enhance their lives outside of the classroom/job arena they understood things a little more clearly. This opened the door to more participation with active learning, as they used the skills needed to write essays to write letters to friends and so on.

Hi Matthew,
Students certainly retain more by performing.

Geting the students involved by doing always helps them to retain information and understand concepts.
