What makes you want to learn something?

Watch and listen below to Will Richardson's TED Talk about the changing face of education.  As future educators you will be challenged during your careers to make real world changes and reform the way students will be learning.  

In your blog, describe an ideal learning environment for you.  Think about how this ideal setting could be incorporated into a future school day.  Use complete sentences.  Try to find pictures and links of what an ideal classroom/learning environment would look like to you.  Include how long you think classes should be and why.  What measures would you use to evaluate students on their performance?

Remember to use good writing conventions and to follow the blog rubric for the best possible score.

Cooperative learning refers to a set of instructional techniques whereby students work in small, mixed-ability learning groups. In the simplest form what does cooperative learning look like? List at least three ways you can encourage cooperative learning in your classroom.
