New Insights and Their Implications

I think the biggest learning experience in this class so far was the LPU. It made me realize just how effective project based learning is. Its easy for a teacher to have a student memorize a formula, plug the numbers in and solve it. From this experience I learned how much more effective teaching can be if hands-on manipulative's are used and if you let students discover answers on their own, compared to just telling them answers. However, it did make me realize just how hard it is to teach from this perspective. No teacher I have had up until this point has ever taught like this. It is definitely a learning experience. I am looking forward to learning more about this new way of teaching.
