This week I learned about observational and social learning as well as using technology as a tool in learning (something I discuss quite often on this blog site). I also started a new job this week and subsequently have been attending a lot of onboarding and training sessions. I wanted to challenge myself to find at least 3 connections between my onboarding process at work and what I was learning in CEP 800. This is what I found:
Reflecting on these findings and what I learned this week both at work and in my studies, I noticed that one common theme is that everyone learns differently. There are so many different factors that contribute to any given learning experience, and curating the ‘perfect’ scenario for learning is nearly impossible. This emphasizes the importance of differentiated instruction and knowing your learners beyond the surface level. Resources: Cherry, K. (2019, September 6).
