Sharing our Learning

Just in the middle of a session at Southwell today and guess what?? This guy Ewan McIntosh was talking all about how important it is to 'share our learning' - 'share our mistakes' so others can learn from our mistakes. This guy is from Scotland and has come all the way to NZ to share his ideas with NZ teachers so that we can become better teachers.

He was making a point about taking 15min at the end of each lesson to reflect on our learning, to see:

What have we learnt?
How do we now?
What do we need to do next? How will we do that?

I was thinking - cool we are already doing that!!!!! Then I was thinking - does this really help you as a learner? and if so how?

Place a comment against this post to let me know what you think :-)

  1. what i have learnt is that if i reflect on my learning i will get better marks and also achieve what i want to achieve in everything.

    how i know is that i never used to learn as fast as i did, also i have achieved most of my goals by reflecting on them.

    what i need to do next is to my more goals that are not that hard to achieve and how will i do it is by study hard at something to achieve them and also make sure that they will be easy to achieve.

  3. i have learnt that if i reflect on my goals i will start getting better and also achieve more then i used to.

    how i no now is cause i dont usually do as well in my reflecting but i got much much better

    what i have to do next is to make sure that i have reflected on my goals everyday to do better and make sure that i can do more goals that are harder then usual.

  5. i have learnt how to reflect on my goals and also i have learnt alot from reflecting on my goals.

    i no this because i had lots a practice and also i didnt do as well in reflecting as i do now.

    what i have to do next is to make harder goals but not to hard so that i can achieve them and also to help me to do my best in everything i do in life.
