Learning Observed

Christian has shown real curiosity, thinking and managing self skills researching and making connections to her prior knowledge.  Her driving iExplore learning adventure question has lead her to investigate 3 big cats: the puma, leopard and cheetah.  She wanted to know if they were the same and/or why they were different.  Christian found using a Venn diagram helpful for seeing, visually, how the feline species were different but also what their similarities were.  She showed capability at creating a presentation to share her learning with her classmates and created a wee quiz for us using an online tool called ‘kahoot.it’.  She had a lot of fun doing this with a group of learners and I.  I was very impressed that Christian trialled the quiz with a focus group before her presentation- she showed real preparation and forward thinking.  Her presentation and quiz showed clearly all that she has learned, where her new curiosities lay and how she made connections with people and resources.  I am looking forward to her new iExplore learning adventure- good luck!
