Hey Chloe!

Your blog post really resonated with me! It’s cool how you experienced behaviorism with your parents teaching you to tie shoelaces – positive reinforcement truly works! And your cognitive learning approach in calculus sounds spot on, taking notes and seeking clarifications are smart moves.

Your Gender Studies class seems awesome! I love how you get to choose assignments and explore topics you’re into. Embracing diverse viewpoints and collaborating with classmates is so valuable.

Hey Armaan!

Your learning journey at Farm Credit Canada sounds awesome! I’m impressed with your progress in just 3 months, going from knowing nothing to taking on more tasks and helping your team. The use of cognitivism in your learning process seems to be a game-changer, making the knowledge meaningful and easier to retain. I’m glad your 5-year investment in Uvic is paying off, and you’re applying what you learned to the job world!

Keep embracing the cognitive approach, goal-setting, and planning – it’s clearly working for you! Keep up the fantastic work! 👍

Hey Rachel!

Your blog post on open pedagogies is awesome! I love how it promotes collaboration, learner empowerment, and using technology to connect with others globally. The focus on project-based learning and problem-solving is so cool for financial literacy, which is a dynamic and personal topic. The idea of students setting their learning goals and owning their educational journey is fantastic!

One suggestion could be to include some real-life examples or personal anecdotes to make the topic even more relatable. Keep up the great work, Rachel! Your approach to teaching financial literacy rocks! 💪

Hey Nikhil

I enjoyed reading your blog about Direct Instruction, a teaching method that’s proven to work wonders! It’s all about clear, structured teaching, which helps students learn at their own pace. What I liked is that it supports all students, even those facing challenges, and helps them succeed in various subjects. It may seem a bit structured to some, but hey, it actually frees up brainpower for learning!

The idea of accommodating diverse learning styles with a range of multimedia and text-based materials is great! Also, ensuring accessibility with captions, alt text, and language options is truly inclusive. Keep up the great work in fostering a supportive and diverse learning space for all students.

Hey Armaan,

Great blog post, personal finance is such an important idea to learn at an early stage! The idea of learning personal finance online is fantastic, and it’s great that you’ll be able to do it from the comfort of your home using Google Classroom. The convenience of having all the resources available online, including articles and videos, will make the learning experience so much more enjoyable and engaging. And the best part is the practical assessment of creating a budget sheet on Google Sheets, which will help you understand your spending habits and make smarter financial decisions.
