I believe technology is to thank for that luxury. Before the internet, students would have to go to class at a specific building at a specific time. Now we have the convenience to choose not only the time but the place. So if I want to learn on my couch at midnight, the choice is mine to make.

I am a fan of Dewey. It seems through the decades theorists have the same concept, only place a new title to it. Any thoughts?<br />Cheryl8845https://www.blogger.com/profile/04453908650506838199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328512009805047762.post-91992380199210278742012-01-28T05:52:08.016-08:002012-01-28T05:52:08.016-08:00I really like graphic organizers also.

Graphic organizers are also a great tool to use with struggling writers and students who are having trouble making connections among concepts.

What is the purpose? I'm just curious. I need that dictionary in my life.toneythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480504378966308592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328512009805047762.post-70232776425783424112012-01-27T15:32:12.388-08:002012-01-27T15:32:12.388-08:00Hi David.

Or, did you mean that the amount of information you accept is small, given your ability to vet that information? I find, again, if anything, I have more valid, reliable information at my fingertips as a result of my network of digital resources. Can you explain what you mean by, "it is small"?

Do you think this is a trait that comes with age and maturity or something you are 'born with'? For me, I always learned best when "left alone"- I did not fair well when guided, as I was always a shy kid and group activity did not sit well with me. I think I took some of that mentality into adulthood, even though I am not shy anymore. What was your situation?Karen Wondergemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110389092257946681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328512009805047762.post-77339723926780096652012-01-27T06:16:30.120-08:002012-01-27T06:16:30.120-08:00Hello David,
Flexibility of time is a great asset...Hello David,<br /><br />Flexibility of time is a great asset to us all as we try to multi task in this fast pace era. I agree with you that networking has provided me with flexible time to study and learn new information. Goggle is an awesome search engine that helps us to research credible and non-credible information about specific topics.<br /><br />Graphic organizers are awesome to me. I am a visual learner, and I prefer my information to be organized and presented in a graphic organizer. They do enhance my ability to learn. I find myself using graphic organizers a great deal in my classroom. <br /><br />We all learn new knowledge by using some form of brainstorming. Some of the brainstorming tactics I use are listing or bullets, journal down questions, or free writing. <br /><br />Sandra DykesSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033453865344786272noreply@blogger.com
