Blackboard: things to keep in mind
While I am preparing myself for Espoo days I read throught the threee thnigs that we supposed to.
I focused my attentition on Oivallus Final Report. I found there again things that I should keep in mind for my future career and to be a better learner. I really want to do my part to do things better.
-Working in groups, learning from others and refining the ideas of others are skills
that need practicing. They are not current strengths in Finland. That is why
they need to be emphasised in educational institutions more systematically than is currently being done.
-Learning is about studying and practicing.Very few people are natural talents.Learning is not always nice and easy; sometimes it is downright uncomfortable. However, it is always rewarding.
-The culture of one correct answer should be abolished. It is completely wrong to guide learners
to reach for never being wrong.
- If we wish to raise pupils to adopt a collaborative working culture, they need to see teachers acting according to that culture.
- Included in social skills is for example the ability to form contacts with people in multicultural networks, to discuss, to understand the viewpoints of others and to listen. Because these skills
are really needed in work (and in life generally) developing them into natural tools requires long-term practice.

My very first virtual session part 2
Piaget
said that we learn best when we make a connection between what we already know
and the new material to be learned. The learning is the balance between our
previous ideas of the reality (schema) and the reality itself.
This is an aspect of learning I haven´t considered so much during my teaching experience and came out during my studies on cognitivism and constructivism.
We also discussed about how much teacher´s learning styles influences the audience. I noticed I should also take care of my weakest learning style and insert into my teaching.
I didn´t quite follow the curriculum presentation. I hope to have time to have a look of that part and be able to write something about it this week.
