Learning Observed

Nisita has been diligently completing her iExplore on teaching others all about penguins.  She has been researching, refining her ideas and creating a helpful presentation for others to use to learn and improve their knowledge about penguins and how they survive in cold climates.  Her iExplore learning adventure stemmed from her curiosity about how the flightless birds survived in Antarctica. Nisita has learned to give credit to her sources of information, how to make slides more visually appealing to an audience and has practiced graphic organizers like a KWL chart to help her organize her thinking.  She is going to present her learning to our group in Week 8.  Nisita has responded to feedback from Learning Coach and learners in our conferencing sessions and is open to ideas.
