Module 7 Activity 5a, b, c Engaged Learning

Engaged learning is synonymous with 21st century learning.  Students are responsible for their own learning by definining their own learning goals and evaluating their own achievement. Once this culture is cultivated in the classroom, students will always be energized to learn and will quite likely become lifelong learners. As a teacher, I am totally convinced that this is the way to go as a teacher. In light of this, I can see myself setting challenging, authentic, multidisciplinary tasks that relate to real life situations so that they will be meaningful to my students. Students who are always engaged will crave knowledge and will love learning once they make sense of the learning and can tranfer it to new situations.
