1B-3 Activity 4A Spontaneous Learning

Spontaneous Learning is one aspect of student learning that we as teachers need to build upon in the classroom.  Students are continuously learning from their experiences and the activities that they do and the skills that they employ in using the computer are no exception.  Students always seem to have a fascination for computers and this fascination would lead them to explore, investigate, experiment and use the computers for a number of tasks although they have not had formal training in its use. It is important that as teachers we decide what needs to be learnt, how it should be learnt and at what stage of the child's development it should be done. Spontaneous learning and scientific learning should be the two sides of the same coin.
