Response to Amy’s Post on Designing to Encourage Meaningful Learning
Designing to Encourage Meaningful Learning – EDCI 335
Hey Amy!
I really enjoyed reading your blog and found your explanations of Backward Design and the Iceberg Model to provide a lot of clarity. Your personal examples from working with children made the ideas very relatable. I also appreciated your comparison of Bloom’s and SOLO Taxonomies, as well as the surface vs. deep learning table, which effectively clarified the concepts. One thing I wonder is if you could expand a bit more on the potential challenges or limitations of using inquiry-based or project-based learning with children. For example, how would you handle situations where students get off-topic?
Overall, great blog post. Can’t wait to read more of your future work!
