Education Nation Chapter 2

This chapter was mostly about hands on learning and how lectures just don’t cut it now that technology is around. The book also touched on how the feelings, ideas, home life, and many other things can affect a students learning and will to learn.
The five points that affect me:
1.       If at all possible provide project based learning, and use experiences that are relevant to student’s lives.
2.       Use and strengthen active-learning practices.
3.       Video, images, and music are much more powerful than just words alone.
4.       If a student’s heart isn’t into learning than their mind won’t be either.
5.       It’s not only about what’s going to be on the test, but about what will help a student in the real world.
