My ideas of learning have changed over the course of the semester. I now realize that a lot of what I thought was learning was close to correct but very underdeveloped. I now see that a lot of my ideas were close but needed help. I like how all of the theories seem to tie into one another. Each of them is fairly case specific but held together they all show how learning can be done. Each of the theories seems to focus more on the teacher because he or she is the one implementing the idea. I wonder, though, if we need to be careful not to state a learning theory as the way to learn but as another piece of the puzzle that, put all together, will make up learning. The other thing I'm working more on this year is how to mix up the theories so that I use more than one per class and different styles of each per student. The homogeneous classroom is a myth and I need to find ways to implement multiple styles with multiple students. I think I need to utilize my student leaders better.
