Here we go again. Another semester of graduate school has begun and we all start the process of acclimating ourselves to our new learning environments.
I am really excited about the opportunity to create a significant learning environment since I still face daily struggles with students who do not review information. I keep thinking back to The Behavioral Science Guys and David Maxfield’s caution about how more information doesn’t create change or motivation (Crucial Learning, 2015). I have to find a way to help people change when they don’t want to. What are some influential questions I can incorporate into my ePortfolio? How do I create a significant learning environment that will allow them to “explore motivations they already have” as recommended by Joseph Grenny (Crucial Learning, 2015).
I have been reviewing the course content and announcements in preparation for our first big assignment for “Creating Significant Learning Environments” and what I have ascertained thus far is that we are going to be:
- 1) Creating a response to the New Culture of Learning
- 2) Outline how we will move toward creating a Significant Learning Environment
We will do this by
- 1) Creating an argument for how a shift to a CSLE can enhance learning
- 2) What problems the CSLE we create will address
- 3) What influence this CSLE will have on our innovation
What are some of your thoughts about how you will create a significant learning environment? What are some questions you might ask yourself?
