6. People learn better when they are in charge6. People learn better when they are in charge

7. Informal and social learning are cost-effective

8. There’s inherent inertia in formal approaches

teacher) centred – TLs need to resource the

curriculum- WHAT and HOW?http://www.slideshare.net/charlesjennings/8-reasons-to-focus-on-informal-social-learning

If we continue to limit our

thinking about education to

28 students,1 teacher,1500

hours of 8 to 3, we are hours of 8 to 3, we are

condemning today’s fourth

graders to exactly the same

educational experience that

I got in 1976, that my father

got in 1946, and that his

father got in 1916. Diana
