Interaction, and learning

[From: How People Learn - Brain, Mind, Experience and School.
(Ed. Bransford et al, 1999)]

"Because many new technologies are interactive, it is now easier to create environments in which students can learn by doing, receive feedback, and continually refine their understanding and build new knowledge."

[From: Williams, 2004]

"Discussion and sharing experience have been identified as two of the most effective means by which adults learn".

Key concepts:
1. Sharing with other learners aids learning.
2. Interacting with technology aids learning.
3. Learning requires activity, engagement, response.
