Week 2 Learning Activity 2

In the most part the first 2 questions were covered by most teachers, however there was little interest in the way that I learn. Depending on the subject area and teacher the middle three aspects of the 8 LMQ was used, some teachers used experts from outside the school and other technologies and resources to aid in the learning experiences. There was a poor relevance to real life and authenticity of the learning assessment in most cases the more practically based subjects had a more realistic form of assessment for the reasons that we were building and doing things that were real and useful. I think that most of my teachers have agreed with the advantage of having an understanding of where their students are at before they try to teach them. There is an advantage of knowing how your learners learn best however this can only help so much as within your own class their are multiple different learning styles. I think that it is very hard to create a learning experience that will engage all students at the same time. Having authenticity and originality within your assessment is good as it allows students to express themselves, but as a teacher it makes it harder to assess the students especially if students are choosing different types of assessment. Like any system there is always the ability for students to fall through the gaps in learning, our job as teachers it to pick up on these and help them to engage with the learning material and learn skills that they need.
