Learning Observed
In iExplore today we worked collaboratively in small groups to share and record our wonderings and questions.  The focus for this particular activity was to identify areas of learning for our future iExplore learning adventures.  We share ideas for topics and make open ended questions that we can research and explore. Providing our learners with the opportunity to make choices about their learning promotes self directed learning, and research tells us this increases focus and motivation.

Ziell, Harry, Joshua and Tristan co-constructed some wonderings and recorded them in a shared mind-map so all could look at them. It was great to see them make connections to their curiosities.
