What are the *E's of Learning*?
I created a mind map about the *E's of Learning* for a talk that I gave to a group of teachers at a conference. I had my ideas before I walked into the room - but I wanted to use the talk to go deeper into the topic with a group of colleagues.
To be honest - I wanted to learn from the teachers in the room. Their personal classroom experience and research were very valuable to me and I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to learn from them.
As soon as I started the workshop, I asked the teachers in attendance to come up with a list of 10 words that begin with the letter *E* and are connected to education and learning.
I did not show them my mind map yet. My mind map was only a guide for myself. I would share my mind map with them later. I drew a blank mind map on a flip chart with 10 bubbles on it and started to model the task with them so we (as a group) were aware of what the task was about. I had already created several mind maps on MIRO for them and sent them a link via WhatsApp. This would allow them to do their group brainstorming on MIRO and to later share it with the group on a Smart TV screen.
They worked in groups and had 20 minutes to come up with a list. We came back together as a group and went over their results group by group. This led to a great interactive discussion about the *E's of Learning*.
Below is a list of the many words that the teachers came up with during their collaborative group discussions.
It is not possible to go into detail about what the teachers said, and why they chose these words. But, I can promise you that the interactive discussion (aka Dialogic Knowledge Co-Construction) that took place was very interesting and led to some eye-opening perspectives about education, teaching, and learning.
I only acted as a moderator and visualized their responses as they shared their insights. I saved 15 minutes to share my ideas. But, it was their feedback, in the end, that was fascinating and worth waiting for.
Use this list as inspiration to create your interactive discussion with teachers about the *E's of Learning* or maybe the *ABCs of Learning* - and experience what is known as KNOWLEDGE CO-CONSTRUCTION.
NOTE: When using AI platforms to create lesson plans or learning cycles, these are great keywords to consider for prompts.
