Krizzia’s Learning Journey
Krizzia and Shirley make some really interesting points about learning. I like that they see learning as a wholistsic journey, something you begin and carry on through life. They acknowledge that many people contribute to the journey and also acknowledge that prior experience (baggage) is a vital component to the outcome of various tasks.
I totally agree with this. It reminds me of some of my own experiences of learning where the things that have challenged me have been completely different to those that others have learned in the same lesson – I think this is due to the prior experience that we carry.
Their video podcast has very effective use of images and video footage to describe their views on learning using metaphors. I also like that their video podcast seems to have a realistic picture of learning (not necessarily idealized). They remind viewers that learning may not always be easy, something I think that all educators must realise!
