ReplyDeleteStrikes me there's lots of shared learning, implicit learning that could be going on in your classroom as students watch you, watch each other, question each other, etc. The learning is "in the air" with what you are speaking about. It's an old Multiage Concept and is so rich for everyone's learning if the conversations, demonstrations, frustrations, explanations, are all public!
Very, very, Vygotsky.

Thanks, I guess Vygotsky is a good thing. I will have to look him up.
