Douglas Thomas and John Brown go more into detail about how students learn in the 21st century by creating their own environments, or collectives (p.52). This is where students are actively participating and engaging in the learning process. Teachers are not the bearers of information but rather facilitators in learning environments. What is wrong with creating a classroom where students can play and learn and be creative? NOTHING!! This made me think about how majority of students love elementary school. As they go into middle school they get further away from playing and having fun. By the time they reach high school, their creativity has been stifled so much and they've forgotten how enjoyable school used to be. I want to bring this back to school. I will create opportunities for my students to not only figure out what they're passionate about but use that passion to fuel their learning. This is going to get me really far out of my comfort zone but I know that's where the magic normally happens. Read CSLE post
