Learning

Again we have had a really busy week, but things are starting to slow down. Now that we have more time to think about the things we have learnt and why we have learnt them, I thought you might find this interesting. Have a read and let me know what you think.
Learn To Learn (Copyright 2008 Rio Salado College,)
Learning is a very personal matter. There isn't one study/learning skill or strategy that works for every person in every situation. Therefore, learning to learn strategies are about learning what you know, learning what you don't know, and learning what to do about it. Your repertoire of study/learning strategies will:
• enable you to take more responsibility for your own learning
• allow you to spend your time effectively and stay on task
• help you select the best approach(s) for each assignment or task
• provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to begin, follow through, and complete assignments/tasks
• present you with access to a variety of content and reference materials
• give you the confidence to know when and who to ask for help

What learning strategies have we looked at this year? What do you find helpful when learning? What do you enjoy about learning? Let me know!

Hey Mrs Currie.
I find it helpful when we learn things in different more fun ways.Like combining PE and maths or something for example. Or when you do hangmans and things to keep us interested. Also, when we do things like the rainbow poster. All of the above were interesting and helped me with my learning.
