EXHIBITING WHAT YOU KNOW

There are various ways, using the visual, auditory and kinesthetic styles, to exhibit what you know.
For example:
• test yourself (use tools such as learning maps, flash cards, flow charts, say out loud, make a logical, numbered list)
• practice what you have learned through role play and mental rehearsal
• just do it!
• learn with a study buddy or seek family support and share learning
• self evaluate by recording a video of your performance, marking yourself against the criteria.

REFLECTING ON HOW YOU HAVE LEARNED

Reviewing and evaluating what and, especially, how you have learned is the crucial factor to becoming a self sufficient, independent and successful learner.

The process of metacognition, whereby we consciously consider what steps and strategies we take during learning and how to improve on these, is a key characteristic of the self-motivated and self-reliant learner. Three simple questions can guide us through any process of reflection – What went well? What could have gone better? How can I do it better next time?

DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT
The digital information world is a multi-intelligent, multi-modal, multi-sensory, multi-curricula environment. To reach our learners in this environment it makes sense to adopt a learning approach which actively involves the senses through holistic activity, combining higher order thinking and intelligences to make learning fun and enjoyable.
