Pedagogy of
? All of us are potential teachers as well as learners - in a true collaborative
environment we are both.
? We learn particularly well from the act of creating or expressing something
for others to see.
? We learn a lot by just observing the activity of our peers.
? By understanding the contexts of others, we can teach in a more
transformational way (constructivism)
? A learning environment needs to be flexible and adaptable, so that it can
quickly respond to the needs of the participants within it.
Community
