week of november 9

What is learning? I have to disagree a little with the theory this week. I think that we can learn a lot from on the job training, but before we go in it is better that we have a little back ground. If we go into a basketball game without any idea of the plays we can eventually learn them and how they work but it will take about 5 games. if we sit down and talk about the play and then go through it as a walk through and then against our own team we are learning lots and lastly we need to experience to know how they will work against a team that doesn't know our plays. I agree that learning takes place on the lob quicker than it can in a classroom but i think that we need to spend some time in the classroom before optimal learning can take place.

As a teacher we need to incorporate this into our lessons. we need to take the time to help them understand the concept and then see it in a real world situation.
