@codyb124 Hi Cody,
I agree! I thought it was wonderful how they wanted to improve schools across the district and not just their own individual classroom. That type of thinking is far-reaching and affects a lot more learners.

Community: Each teacher sought ideas from & shared their results with others. They had the support of their peers in their own schools as well as others across the county.

Creativity: Both teachers recognized a problem, researched alternatives, then came up with a creative solution to engage their students.
Agency: Both were confident in their autonomy to begin their research and had the principal's support once they presented their idea.

@NicoleAshRoss Hi Ashton, I agree completely that a mix will likely work for most people. Each type of learning can be used in different situations. And you're right, things like muscle memory are only learned through physical practice and not just "stored in the mind!"

[Emma Cameron @ECameron_school]

each individual’s mind will always be affected by other factors (previous experiences, beliefs, etc) and it's impossible for the individual to separate knowledge from these factors. Therefore, I believe the method that combines both learning strategies is most effective. #302f23

[Emma Cameron @ECameron_school]

I believe that both theories have their merits and are appropriate in different situations, so the combined tech integration strategy resonated the most with me. Learners need the foundational knowledge that can be gained quickly through directed instruction, (1/3) #302f23

but can build on that knowledge more effectively through participation learning. I agree with the objectivists that knowledge is independent from the human mind & that it’s wildly presumptuous to assume otherwise when other animals are capable of learning. However, (2/3) #302f23

@AlexisPortNC I thought you did an excellent job giving examples of the 6 components of TPACK! The use of videos and games are great ways to help learners stay interested and remember the information in the future.

PCK: having a group of livestock for the learners to practice disease prevention

TCK: showing learners the USDA website as a resource for disease ID and tracking

TPK: knowing that using a microscope to view live bacteria is more effective than a mere picture of the bacteria

Discussion Chapter 1 #302f23
Example: teaching a class about livestock diseases

TK: using a microscope to look at bacteria

CK: knowing about the diseases (ex: carriers, symptoms, treatments, etc)

PK: knowing how to organize the curriculum to cover the learning objectives

@pcmendoza04 Hey Paigelyn, I love your picture and I love being outdoors too! I'm a large animal vet tech and we do mostly horses, but about once a year we trim a pig's tusks and I get to be the one who lays on him to keep him still 😄 I look forward to getting to know you better!

My name is Emma and this is my last class before I graduate! I currently work full-time as a large animal vet tech (we primarily see horses) and I love it! My future goal is to continue working at this job, but maybe eventually work for the NC Extension at some point. #302f23
