Applying what we learn...

When I started EDIT451 I felt completely disoriented by the material. The problem is how to connect the readings, theories, etc. to the real world. Last week, my EDIT451 group started work on Situated-Learning Theory, so I developed a simple activity using this theory for a real-world class that I teach in Spanish. I've now done the new activity twice in two weeks and it's going very well. Learning a language is a particularly appropriate subject for testing this theory - language acquisition involves cultural components, social skills, and depends entirely on real-world effectiveness as a measure of success.

Now I'm wondering if anyone else in our class has had the opportunity to apply any of the new ideas in our course to their own real-world activities?
