Week 4 – Pedagogical Innovations
This week, you have explored whether the ideas about how we learn are present in the pedagogical innovations currently occurring in education. Earlier in the week you selected a topic from the following list:
- Game-based learning
- Flipped classrooms
- Mindfulness curriculum
- Interest-driven instruction
- Your own selected topic
Based on your research, create a project on your innovation topic in the format of your choice. Your project should address the following:
- Provide a brief overview of the innovation. What is the goal of using it with students?
- How does this innovation incorporate current information about how we learn? Or, how does it contradict what we know about how we learn?
- Would you recommend this innovation for adoption in classrooms and schools? Why or why not?
